Published on the occasion of the long overdue first retrospective of the Icelandic-born, Santa Fe-based New Media art pioneer, Steina, this monograph is one of the only substantial publications to recognize a female artist's contribution to the field. Over the course of her 30-year career, Steina has expanded the boundaries of video technology and electronic imaging through experimentation and play that deftly merge electrical engineering and musical composition into an unprecedented visual aesthetic. This volume, thoughtfully organized by SITE Santa Fe, comes complete with more than 80 color reproductions and a series of critical essays that significantly enhance the scant existing scholarship on this iconic artist. In addition, it includes the first published interview--an instantly classic text for scholars, artists and anyone interested in video and installation art--between Steina and Media Arts theorist Gene Youngblood.

The curatorial premise behind Lucky Number Seven--SITE Santa Fe's seventh international biennial, curated by Lance Fung--is to invite a host of emerging artists, all sponsored by international institutions, to create new commissions that are ephemeral and site-inspired. This two-volume catalogue is the only documentation of these temporary works. The first volume includes essays by Fung and Laura Heon, Director of SITE Santa Fe, as well as documentation of the exhibition from idea to implementation and a discussion by the artists of their work. The second volume includes color images of the final, installed projects. This exhibition features an innovative design by renowned architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien. The volumes that make up this highly collectable publication fit together magnetically, and both of them have foam covers. Featured artists include Martí Anson, Studio Azzurro, Erick Beltrán, Luchezar Boyadjiev, Michal Budny, Piero Golia, Soun Myung Hong, Rose B. Simpson and Shi Qing, among others.
