Digital Art, pubblicato da Thames & Hudson, offre un’incredibile panoramica su una delle forme artistiche più nuove e interessanti: l’arte digitale. Il libro mette in risalto alcuni dei nomi più interessanti del settore dagli anni ’80 ai giorni nostri. Regala inoltre interessanti previsioni su quanto il futuro ha in serbo. Il libro è scritto da Christiane Paul, educatrice e curatrice dei nuovi media artistici, ed è parte dell’acclamata serie World of Art di Thames & Hudson.

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.
