"Sweetness is the last thing I want." This book proves that video art, which emerged 50 years ago, has lost none of its power as an artistic medium. In this book, over 50 key video works from the themes of "Body and Soul," "Public Space," "Environment," and "Virtual Reality" from the Julia Stoschek Collection provide a profound insight into the recent development history of media art. The aspect of contemporaneity is paramount. With this claim to relevance, the collection aims to create a reflection of societal, cultural, and social currents. The conceptual structure of the collection focuses on media art from the early 1960s. Featuring texts by Bernhard Serexhe, Susanne Pfeffer, and Peter Weibel, along with a foreword by Julia Stoschek.
