4. PUBLISHING

Dyn amo, Stephen Dwoskin. DVD published in France by Re:Voir in  
collaboration with LUX. 'Dyn Amo' is a 'drama' exploring the  
distinction between a person's self and his projection of that self  
to others; and it's a 'horror movie' tragically suggesting how a  
projection can become more substantial than the self behind it. Its  
subjects are role-playing (especially sexual role-playing), and the  
masochism of playing a role that conforms to others' exploitative  
interests. (Tony Rayns). Including a new filmed interview with  
Stephen Dwoskin and Producer Maggie Pinhorn and an essay by  
Jacqueline Holt. http://www.lux.org.uk/shop/video.htm

No Wave, Marc Masters. Book published in UK by Black Dog Publishing.  
No Wave music and film from 70s New York, including interviews with  
Amos Poe, James Nares, Eric Mitchell, Vivienne Dick, and Beth and  
Scott B. ISBN13: 978 1 906155 02 5 http://www.blackdogonline.com/all- 
books/no-wave.html

Video. The Reflexive Medium, Yvonne Spielmann. Book published in US  
by Leonardo Books. An argument that video is not merely an  
intermediate stage between analog and digital but a medium in its own  
right; traces the theoretical genealogy of video and examines the  
different concepts of video seen in works by Vito Acconci, Ulrike  
Rosenbach, Steina and Woody Vasulka, and others. ISBN-13:  
978-0-262-19566-9 http://www.leonardo.info/isast/leobooks.html
