Digital Arts presents an introduction to new media art framed through current debates, and includes case studies derived from the most contemporary research in the field. The unique combination of writers brings depth to the volume - which begins with the historical context of digital arts, moves through to the flux of contemporary forms, and concludes with trends in distribution and archival processes. Starting from artists' imperative to adopt new technologies creatively, the chapters of the book progressively present a study of the impact of the digital upon creative methodologies and upon the exhibition, distribution and archiving of arts networks.
Integrating case studies to illustrate the various concepts discussed, the authors' engage the reader more closely and providing an opportunity for detail within the broad overview the book provides. In addition, boxed reflections and case studies will be employed to highlight important terms, concepts and cases. Consistent with the other volumes in the series, a bullet-point 'summary' and 'further reading' section will be provided for each chapter.

Industry Reviews

Digital Art tendencies and terms, both contemporary and historical, along with artists' innovations, both visionary and practical, are brought together in this immensely readable and well structured study of those arts of our time that have grown from the digital seeds planted in the previous century. All the branches are there, and many of the fruits they have borne, harvested with critical consideration and presented with scholarly insight. * Roy Ascott, President of the Planetary Collegium, Plymouth University, UK, and DeTao Master of Technoetic Arts, DTMA, Shanghai *
This is a good all round text book that covers digital arts in a comprehensive way. It is current and accessible. * Nicola Curtis, Plymouth College of Art, UK *
