Product Description
Digital technology has revolutionized the way we produce and experience art today. Not only have traditional forms of art such as printing, painting, photography and sculpture been transformed by digital techniques and media, but entirely new forms such as net art, software art, digital installation and virtual reality have emerged as recognized artistic practices, collected by major museums, institutions and private collectors the world over. Here Christiane Paul surveys the developments in digital art from its appearance in the early 1990s right up to the present day, and looks ahead to what the future may hold. Drawing a distinction between work that uses digital technology as a tool to produce traditional forms and work that uses it as a medium to create new types of art, she discusses all the key artists and works. The book explores themes addressed and raised by the art, such as viewer interaction, artificial life and intelligence, political and social activism, networks and telepresence, as well as issues such as the collection, presentation and preservation of digital art, the virtual museum, and ownership and copyright.

 Digital Art November 4, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I purchased this book for an introductory digital art class and ended up not using it. The writting is not the best and I feel there wasn't enough visual information in this book. Some of the artists the author mentions are wonderful, but overall it was rather dissapointing.

you MUST have this book if you're interested in Digital Art. This is an indispensable guide for New Media creators. It covers Art projects that are less than two years old.

I used this book as a textbook in the classroom. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a quick overview and to use this as a lanching point to understanding what new media is and exploring its rich and growing history. It's also very affordable.
