Having become widely accessible as a consumer technology in the 1960s, video is ever-present today-on our phones and our screens, defining new spaces and experiences, shaping our ideas and politics, and spreading disinformation, documentation, evidence, fervor. Signals: The Politics of Video charts the ways in which artists have both championed and questioned the promise of video, revealing a history that has been planetary, critical, and activist from its very beginnings. The Museum of Modern Art has been at the forefront of bringing video into museums-pioneering the collection, conservation, and definition of a new artistic medium. Signals aims to renew and revise our understanding of art and video, both within and outside the museum. A companion to the exhibition, this catalogue-the Museum's first major publication on the subject in twenty-five years-includes an introductory essay by the curators and six thematic texts by leading scholars and artists that investigate the range of artistic engagements with video, media, and the public sphere. Here, video is posed not as a traditional medium but as a pervasive and fluid media network that is thoroughly global, social, and interactive: a means of politics.

This updated edition offers an in-depth look at artist Olafur Eliasson's work from the 1990s to today, featuring recent exhibitions and hundreds of illustrations. It showcases his diverse output, from large-scale interactive installations to delicate works on paper and glass, accompanied by insightful writings.

This is the second in the Summit publication series, disseminating key insights of the 2018 Summit and extending a global dialogue on an important social issue: art in the digital age. The multidisciplinary perspectives come together through the inspirational book design of Irma Boom. Acting as a cultural incubator for innovative ideas and change, the Verbier Art Summit is an international platform erected to optimise the role of art in a global society. Their mission is to connect thought leaders to key figures in the art world and thus position the Summit as a catalyst for innovation and change. Their vision is to create an influential platform in a non-transactional context for artists, curators, museum directors, private and corporate collectors, art historians/critics, gallerists and art consultants to generate new insights and ideas.
