In recent years, the relations between vision, memory and media have become of burgeoning interest in art, cultural studies, and the sciences. "Vision, Memory and Media" is a cross-disciplinary exploration that takes into account recent scientific research concerning memory studies, and couples this with broad and accessible cultural discussion about vision and media in a web 2.0 era. The texts are accompanied with interviews and illuminating images of art works by contemporary artists whose practice explores the interplay of vision, memory and media.
