Title: Art and Electronic Media (Themes & Movements)
Description: Art and Electronic Media is the latest installment in the THEMES AND MOVEMENT series, a collection of groundbreaking source books on the prevailing art tendencies of our times. This is the first book to explore mechanics, light, graphics, robotics, networks, virtual reality and the possibilities afforded by the web from an international perspective. It outlines the importance of figures previously neglected by art history, including engineers, technicians, and collaborators. Included are works by over 150 artists, both familiar--Jenny Holzer, Bruce Nauman, James Turrell, Mario Merz--as well as emerging and recent pioneers, such as Robert Lazzarini, Blast Theory, Granular Synthesis, Simon Penny, Marcel Antunez Roca, Mikami Seiko, and Jonah Bruckner-Cohen. The book is divided into seven thematic sections arranged chronologically.
