Empathy, Mutation, Audience
Tony Oursler, 1998, pp. 11-14
Milano: Edizioni Charta, 1998
This essay looks at a range of Tony Oursler's video installation works. It discusses how the installations represent a simplified system of reality, and serve to investigate the mechanism that links the mass media to the whole range of psychological and social disorders and to the increase in violent crimes. It also looks at his style of transposing organic sensations into an aesthetic object in an attempt to to change the psychic life into external reality.
