Where do you begin with a book like this; a book containing dialogues on a micro contemporary avant-garde video art movement on social media called “CoreCore”? It is, as “0nty”, the lead editor said, more of a toll booth; this book ensures no possiblity for the artists to be cut out of the loop when the academics arrive en scene. That aside, it is a fascinating collection of texts on cultural theory, psychoanalysis and philosophy, which, as filmmaker and contributor Mischa Dols said: “has no right to be as good a book as it is; it wasn’t supposed to actually be good”.
Contains a mass of visual art from upward of 140 contributors. Monumental book.
