Product Description

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. Christiane Paul surveys the developments in digital art from its appearance in the 1980s up to the present day, and looks ahead to what that future may hold. This new edition investigates the emergence and impact of mobile and locative (site-specific) media, social networks and the next generation of virtual worlds, bringing the subject right up to date, with c.40 additional illustrations of the most groundbreaking works in these exciting new areas.

Format:Paperback
This review is from: Digital Art (World of Art Paperback)

a very good book printed by Thames and Hudson, written by Chritianne Paul published in 2008. 256 pages crammed full of images, quality concise writing , a brieh historical overview, listed artist/online orgs,select bibliography plus further reading make this modestly sized book (8 x 6") an excellent read.

along with my copy of the 2000 edition of "New Media in Art" (World of Art) by Michael Rush, "Digital Art" impresses with a detailed overview of contemporary digital practice for artists across the world that include web based projects,installation video art, virtual art, data, activist + genetic art amongst other digital artforms.

but as hinted already - due to the size of book - the printed text is very small + fairly faint (a bolder font would have a world of difference) so beware - my eyes arent that bad (yet) that i should struggle to read textbook generally, but i did so with "Digtal Art" unless in bright daylight, or a magnifying glass might be required. seriously. in this kimble reader day and age - this is a shame but does not detract from an excellent book on an exciting + dynamic hi-tech visual/intellectual world. the detailed further reading + recommended online links in particular, make this book invaluable for digital art practioners + culture vultures alike.

strongly recommended overall.

Format:Paperback
This book gives a very good insight on the story of Digital Art, by categorizing the types of art and referring to installations and performances of some artists, relating them to each other. However, if you are looking for a book with extensive information about individual authors, this is not for you.

Accessible writing supported by generous examples 1 Nov 2009
By J. Toolin - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
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, and clarifies the sometimes blurred differences between 'technology as tool,' and 'technology as medium.'
