The impact of new media on art and film has influenced the material histories and performances (be they in theory or practice) of images across the disciplines. Digital technologies have not only shaped post-cinematic media cultures and visual epistemologies, but they are behind a growing shift towards a new realism in theory, art, film and in the art of the moving image in particular. \u003cem\u003eTechnology and Desire\u003c\/em\u003e examines the performative ontologies of moving images across the genealogies of media and their aesthetic agency in contemporary media and video art, CGI, painting, video games and installations. Drawing on cultural studies, media and film theory as well as art history to provide exemplary evidence of this shift, this book has as its central theme the question of whether images are predicated upon transgressing the boundaries of their framing – and whether in the course of their existence they develop a life of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePost-medial Technologies of Desire: Performances of Images – Rania Gaafar and Martin Schulz\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrelude \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMuch Trouble in the Transportation of Souls, or the Sudden Disorganization of Boundaries – Anselm Franke\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePART I: Post-Medial Image Cultures and New Media Philosophies 75\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Technical Repetition and Digital Art, or Why the ‘Digital’ in Digital Cinema is not the ‘Digital’ in Digital Technics – Mark B.
