      This volume considers the effect of new image technologies on the forms and experience of mass visual culture. Examining the digital imaging techniques employed in films such as "Forrest Gump" and "Toy Story" , and across a wide range of media, including music video, computer games, theme parks and simulation rides, the author argues that contemporary visual culture is radically different from traditional visual culture, marking a break with the emphasis on story, representation, meaning and reading towards a focus on style, image performance and sensation. Divided into two sections, "Visual Digital Culture" first looks at the development of digital culture, and considers the implications for aesthetic theories of the new technologies of the image. In the second section, the author addresses the implications of digital culture for theories of spectatorship, suggesting that these new visual forms create in turn a new kind of spectatorship within mass culture.
