We witness an era with more screens than ever before and within each screen a multitude of
visual varieties. Lisa Gotto investigates this medial diversity as a field of tension between
large and small forms of digital image culture. This includes on the one hand the immersive
potential of large image arrangements such as digital 3D cinema and on the other hand the
compactness of mobile image forms such as those of the smartphone film or the media practices
of Instagram. Weaving together a rich variety of examples and sources this book presents a
multifaceted collection of essays that explore the transformational potential of digital media
culture contextualize its media-technical conditions and reflect on its social consequences.
