The selection of pieces featured in this publication date from between 1977 and 2013, spanning nearly the entirety of Oursler's practice. Adding valuable context are scholarly essays explaining Oursler's creative process and full-color illustrations of his videos. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmong other revelations, these transcripts show that Oursler is not merely a video artist, but a writer as well. The vernacular language that Oursler employs is written to be spoken by \"electronic entities\" and carries a sort of musical cadence that makes his text surprisingly lyrical. This comprehensive anthology uncovers the poetry in Oursler's work and captures the unique nature of his artistic voice.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for Mercatorfonds \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMus馥 des Arts Contemporains au Grand-Hornu, Belgium\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(11\/17\/13-02\/23\/14)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurent Busine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300204485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300204483\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mercatorfonds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.72h x 9.14w x 1.03d","brand":"Laurent Busine","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44076004868351,"sku":"9780300204483","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_96467f9f-0893-42d0-a90e-cfa0b75587b0.jpg?v=1685462645","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tony-ourslervox-vernacular-laurent-busine-9780300204483","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
