Reviews

Mondloch shows that new media art installations and theories of feminist materialism inform one another in ways of interest to artists, art historians, and new media and feminist scholars. -CHOICE Mondloch's approach couples aesthetics and ethics through activist prose that is unafraid to embrace populism or pleasure, or to revisit theoretical and historical misreadings of the past (and present). This book does not attempt to explain anything. Rather, it practices, and invites us to practice, conceptual-material engagements with art, and thus sensation, perception, and action. Such practice, the author convincingly argues over the entirety of her manuscript, is intrinsically feminist. -Theory & Event
