"Explosion in the Movie Machine: Essays and Documents on Toronto Artists’Film and Video is an anthology of contemporary reflections, scholarly texts, historical documents and visual documentation that examines the depth, brilliance and contradictions of Toronto’s media arts history and ecology. With a focus on artists’film and video organizations, practices, manifestos, and guiding debates, this volume takes stock of where we’ve been and speculates on where we’re headed. Exploring such fundamental issues as censorship, the importance of festivals, the politics of representation, and the longstanding division between film and video aesthetics and institutions, Explosion in the Movie Machine should become a crucial document for artists, students, critics and curators in local, national and international media arts communities." -- Publisher's website.
