The Screen is the Message: Proposals from Art, Cinematography and Digital Post-Production

What are the emblematic works and languages of contemporary audiovisuals? Where do the hybridizations and experiments of the currents of audiovisual art, cinematography and its post-production formulas lead us? In our current cultural space, where any image or video on the cinema or TV screen, or uploaded to the Internet and its social networks, goes through digital retouching or even through the corrections of artificial intelligence, what are the artistic manifestations that, from inside and outside the screen, have led us to this particular moment? This volume aims to shed light on these questions through contributions from international researchers, who expose aspects and the phenomenology of digital post-production to find out not only how these representations operate, but also what they try to express.
