Desire indicates phenomena that embody productive ambiguity, linking fundamental aspects of human coexistence with complex social processes and institutions. In today's media landscape, we encounter an assemblage of desire that reshapes relationships to the social body, sexuality, gender issues, ownership, and the dynamics of moving images. This collection features a diverse range of international perspectives on time-based, immersive arts presented at the third B3 - Biennial of the Moving Image Frankfurt/Main 2017, which centers on contemporary desire. An extensive essay by Marc Ries establishes a theoretical framework connecting moving images to desire. Contributions from notable artists and theorists such as Candice Breitz, Douglas Gordon, Johan Grimonprez, Jonas Mekas, Larissa Sansour, Igor Simic, and Frederico Solmi further enrich the discourse. The exploration of desire in this context highlights how it reflects and influences our understanding of societal structures and personal identities, offering insights into the evolving nature of human interactions in a media-saturated environment. Through these varied contributions, the work invites readers to reconsider the implications of desire in contemporary culture and its role in shaping the future of artistic expression.
