Carolyn L. Kane charts the rise of the country's urban advertisements, light empires, and neoclassical buildings in the early twentieth century; the midcentury construction of polychromatic electrographic spectacles; and their eclipse by informatically intense, invisible algorithms at the dawn of the new millennium. Drawing on archival research, interviews, and visual analysis, \u003ci\u003eElectrographic Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e shows how the development of America's electrographic surround runs parallel to a new paradigm of power, property, and possession.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you think that ubiquitous bright urban light is a story solely of technological achievement, then you should read this book.
