Title translation: "Jeffrey Shaw - Augmented Past × Augmented Present"

The first major book in French devoted to a pioneer of new media and digital technologies.

This book sheds light on some of Jeffrey Shaw's research axes, putting his work into perspective with the viewpoints of Anne-Marie Duguet, professor emeritus at the University of Paris 1 - France, author and art critic, Sarah Kenderdine, professor at the University of Art and Design in Sydney, Australia, and Roderick Coover, artist and professor at Temple University in Philadelphia, USA. Each of these contributions allows us to link the temporalities of Jeffrey Shaw's prolific career, revealing how much this forward-looking spirit has never ceased to re-envision the panorama of creation and to prefigure the creation of tomorrow.

Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at the Enghien-les-Bains Arts Center, from April 18 to July 7, 2019.
