  • The Aesthetics of Self-Becoming

    How Art Forms Empower

    Technology As Iconology

    by Paul Crowther ...

  • Theory of the Art Object

    by Paul Crowther ...
    Series series Routledge Advances in Art and Visual Studies

Indeed, the different object forms of each visual medium allows our experience of space-time, and our relations to other people, to be aesthetically embodied in unique ways.
