Synopsis

As the century progresses and new technology becomes accessible to even the least technological, artists are learning to incorporate the digital into what had previous been their entirely hand-made work, either as elements within the composition as a theme or as the media itself. Writing for those who practice and teach visual arts, Bowen (communication, culture and information technology, U. of Toronto at Mississauga) thoughtfully describes the ways artists are creating art with computers. Drawing on case studies of visual artists, Bowen seeks connections between the work of art and the new media, the connections with culture and old and new modalities, the change of the studio space the pace of work, new attitudes of artists about uniqueness and communication, the emergence of the artist as cyborg hybrid, and new pedagogy among art educators.
