Thames & Hudsonin kustantama Digital Art tarjoaa perusteellisen johdannon digitaaliseen taiteeseen ja sen olennaisimpiin sekä kiinnostavimpiin tekijöihin. Kirjan on kirjoittanut mediataiteen kouluttaja ja kuraattori Christiane Paul, ja sen kieli on englanti. Teos kuuluu Thames & Hudsonin World of Art -sarjaan, jonka jokainen osa keskittyy tiettyyn taidemuotoon, taiteilijaan tai tyylisuuntaan.
Digital technology has revolutionized the way we produce and experience art. Here, Christiane Paul surveys the developments in digital art from its appearance in the 1980s to the present day, and looks ahead to what the future may hold.
Christiane Paul explores themes raised by digital artworks, such as viewer interaction, artificial life and intelligence, political and social activism, networks and telepresence, and issues surrounding the collection, presentation and preservation of digital art. She also looks at the impact of digital techniques and media on traditional forms of art, as well as exploring the ways in which internet and software art, digital installation and virtual reality have emerged as recognized artistic practices.
