Outside the frame

Today, as we navigate the opportunities and implications of networked technologies and social media, the moving image is positioned at the nexus of the cultural milieu. Since 2009, the Samstag Museum of Art, in collaboration with the Adelaide Film Festival, and Melbourne’s ACMI have driven programmes to commission new moving image works that have helped both redefine and further locate the medium at the core of Australian and global creative practice. This book, the first of its kind in Australia, provides a series of historical and newly commissioned critical and discursive reflections on both the artistic outputs and the role and history of commissioning practice.
