Digital Art, Second Edition by Christiane Paul

From the Publisher

"Christiane Paul surveys the developments in digital art from its appearance in the 1980s to the present days, 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 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." This revised and expanded edition investigates key areas of digital art practice that have gained in prominence in recent years, including the emergence and impact of mobile and site-specific media, social networking and virtual worlds such as Second Life.
