Philip Brophy is nothing if not opinionated. Screenic: Politicised Writings on Being Screened is a new anthology of Brophy's writing on art over the last twenty-five years.

As the title suggests, Screenic features writing on art that involves screens. It addresses the ways our changing mediascape has challenged artists, producers, curators, viewers, and critics—sometimes resulting in a rejuvenation of how media art can be imagined and presented; other times evidencing an anaemic grasp of the contemporary mediascape that whorls outside the white cube.

Hear Brophy in conversation with publication editor Helen Hughes and publication designer James Vinciguerra and take home a complimentary copy of our publication Philip Brophy: Hyper Material for Our Very Brain (2012) with purchase.
