Publisher's Note This volume examines contemporary images of machines. It includes a group of international artists who paint machines in powerful images which link the need for technological mastery and power to the art-making impulse itself. Works by Lawrence Gipe, Donald Sultan, Robert Moskowitz, and Mark Tansey are included. In addition, the book presents the work of sculptors (Liz Larner, Rebecca Horn, and Rosemarie Trockel) who make painting machines -- technologically fluent moving structures that both display themselves as art, and duplicate processes of artistic production. These witty, provocative assemblages provide a postmodern critique directed not at society's reliance on technology but at artistic traditions of "genius" that both proscribe the use of technology and mimic its powerful effects.
