DESCRIPTION:
Three Stars It's already outdated.. "Accessible writing supported by generous examples" according to J. Toolin. This book provides a comprehensive overview of digital art, from the manipulation of 2-D imagery to interactive new media installation. As well, it contextualizes contemporary digital practice within the history of technological and conceptual art. It provides the newcomer with clear examples of the range of cultural practices in the digital age, . "Out of touch" according to GMS. This book is out of touch and out of date. SO much has happened since this book came out that its no longer relevant. In addition it doesn't mention the parralel efforts happening in the corporate world which independent movements at least in the digital age are more responsive that original. Terrible book.
