"For almost forty years, DeeDee Halleck has been involved in a variety of projects that involve media-making by "non-professionals." Her goal has been to develop a critical sense of the potentials and limitations of mediated communication through practical exercises that generate a sense of both individual and non-hierarchical group power over the various apparati of media and electronic technology." "Hand-Held Visions is a collection of essays, presentations, and lectures that she has written throughout this process."--Jacket.
