About this book
Kleine robuste Actioncams wie die GoPro haben die Bedingungen des Bilder-Machens nachhaltig verändert, indem sie Körper und Apparat als gemeinsam agierende Einheit konzipieren und die gemeinsame Bewegung spektakulär inszenieren. Die eng an den Körper gebundene Perspektive und die daraus resultierende Ästhetik sind ein besonderes Merkmal dieser Kameras. Aus dieser Konstellation ist eine Kultur des Bilder-Machens und -Verteilens entstanden, die wiederum eng an die Distributions- und Kommunikationswege digitaler Medien bzw. Marken gekoppelt ist.Erstmals widmet sich ein Buch diesem Phänomen und geht ihm aus medienkulturwissenschaftlichen Perspektiven nach.Small robust action-cams like the GoPro have lastingly altered the conditions for making images by conceiving the body and the device as a single unit acting together, and by staging this joint movement in sometimes spectacular ways. The perspective gained by being closely attached to the body, and the aesthetic qualities that result from this, is a particular feature of this camera. This basic constellation has given rise to a culture of making and sharing images, which is linked in turn to the distribution and communication methods of digital media or brands.This book is the first to deal with this phenomenon, pursuing it from a variety of perspectives from media and cultural studies.Das Buch ist unter der ISBN 978-3-86599-461-5 als Print-Ausgabe erhältlich.
