Information Arts – Intersections of Art, Science & Technology: Intersections of Art, Science and Technology (Leonardo Book Series) - Hardcover
Synopsis
A new breed of contemporary artist engages science and technology—not just to adopt the vocabulary and gizmos, but to explore and comment on the content, agendas, and possibilities. Indeed, proposes Stephen Wilson, the role of the artist is not only to interpret and to spread scientific knowledge, but to be an active partner in determining the direction of research. Years ago, C. P. Snow wrote about the "two cultures" of science and the humanities; these developments may finally help to change the outlook of those who view science and technology as separate from the general culture.
In this rich compendium, Wilson offers the first comprehensive survey of international artists who incorporate concepts and research from mathematics, the physical sciences, biology, kinetics, telecommunications, and experimental digital systems such as artificial intelligence and ubiquitous computing. In addition to visual documentation and statements by the artists, Wilson examines relevant art-theoretical writings and explores emerging scientific and technological research likely to be culturally significant in the future. He also provides lists of resources including organizations, publications, conferences, museums, research centers, and Web sites.

Review
If art is our most reliable oracle, then the future looks cool, digital and expensive. Stephen Wilson's massive Information Arts compiles notes on and samples of the work of over 200 artists, organised loosely by scientific discipline. Artists drawing inspiration from cell cultures, GPS, robots, surveillance databases and other technological muses receive a page or two of commentary, often including their own statements and critical reviews.
The image selection is only adequate and often puzzling--why show a photograph of an installation meant to be experienced in total darkness, for example? Still, as a reference and resource guide, Information Arts is without parallel, especially for the largest section, covering computer-related or computer-aided artworks. Deep research, engaging prose and copious listings of further information make it essential for exploring the avant. --Rob Lightner
Review
"This book is marvelous in its scope, very important and timely, and very thoroughly researched. The author sets out to map the extremely complex and layered area of intersection between art, science, and technology. He accomplishes this by thinking through the parameters of his topic with much first-hand experience, insight, and care, and by being inclusive with examples." - Nell Tenhaaf, electronic media artist and Professor, York University"
