Elemental Venice. Immagini, media, ambienti e derive. Editoriale di Engramma 220

This issue explores the notion of elemental media in the Venetian context. Spanning from painting to cinema, and from photography to installations, the eleven contributions engage primarily with John Duram Peters’ notion of elemental media and with Richard Grusin’s theory of radical mediation. Together, these methodological perspectives foreground the possibility of a new framework to consider the interrelation between media and place, as well as between the material elements that constitute all media.
