Permanent flux past, present and future of multimedia art according to Laurie Anderson, Frans Evers, Paul Garrin and Siegfried Zielinski

"Four multimedia insiders render their perspective on past, present and future of multimedia art. Each of them starts from a favourite and crucial episode from its history. Their lectures, spoken in front of a live audience, are supported by soundfragments, radiobroadcasts, absolute film, technotrance clips and many other examples and highlights. From the musical and theatrical innovations between 1850 and 1917 ... to Laurie Anderson talking about her own performances and computer-art in the nineties: Permanent Flux offers a wide range of perspectives on the various explorations of multimedia artists during the last century. It also shows what has remained the same and what, for instance, links Wagners 'Gesamtkunstwerke' to the Video-jockeys of the late nineties: the desire for new worlds, new ways of expression and experience"--Case.
