Opis

In this unique book artists, art historians, art theorists and curators of new media reflect on the idea of art as research and how it has changed practice. Intrinsic to the volume is an investigation of the advances in creative practice made possible via artists engaging directly with technology or via collaborative partnerships between practitioners and technological experts, ranging through a broad spectrum of advanced methods from robotics through rapid prototyping to the biological sciences.

Recenzje

'Digital technologies are disruptive technologies; transforming everything in their wake. Art Practice in a Digital Culture both demonstrates and explains the impact of digital technologies on the art of our time. A stellar line up of artists, curators and historians explore the issues that dominate and define 21st century art creation. These include interdisciplinary, collaborative, research and process based practice. The book will inform and excite anyone interested in contemporary art. The chapters included within it will serve both to mark a point in time and propel the discussion about art forward'. Jemima Rellie, Director of Publishing and New Media at the Royal Collection
