Immersion. Les origines : 1949 – 1969

Immersion. The Origins: 1949-1969 is the first book to trace the rise of immersive art, an approach that addresses all the visitor’s senses in a 360° experience. Featuring pioneering works by twenty-three artists, from Lucio Fontana to Judy Chicago, the present catalogue explores the beginnings of a major form of artistic expression that heralded augmented reality. Essays by Giuliana Bruno, Choghakate Kazarian, and Camille Lévêque-Claudet examine immersion, its history, strategies for involving the public in the work of art itself, and questioning of the exhibition space. The book includes both period documents and an exceptional selection of photo illustrations.
