Four lessons on the great artists who have redesigned and revolutionised art in the last sixty years.

What do The Photoplay, namely the first essay on cinema, written by psychologist Hugo Münsterberg in 1916, and Anemic Cinéma, the abstract cinema masterpiece by Marcel Duchamp, made ten years later, have in common? The work of Duchamp has been interpreted in many ways, but his media interventions, his forays into cinema, his exhibition devices, and even his TV appearances have been incredibly underestimated. A careful re-reading of the “hidden”, physiological, psychological, media sources of Duchamp’s art provides an alternative genealogy not only of ready-made, but also of his entire body of work, and enables a new understanding of contemporary art from a “movement-image” standpoint.

Marco Senaldi, Media aesthetics professor in many universities, including Milano Bicocca, IULM Milano and LUISS Roma, currently teaches at the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera. He has published several essays, organised conferences and events with philosophers and artists as well as several modern art exhibits.
