Summary:

"The use of video as an artistic medium is a recent development in Canada, dating back to the late sixties, and Tom Sherman is one of the pioneers of the video field. Cultural Engineering comprises forty-four texts written by Sherman between 1974 and 1982, with accompanying photographs. It represents the most complete collection of his writings to date. The texts may be seen as the print counterpart to Sherman's work in film, performance, and video; they reveal a complex understanding of the effects of the media, particularly television, on contemporary life."--Cover.
