| | Amazon.com: Digital Art (World of Art): Books: Christiane Paul (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Where many of her bigger-budgeted, theoretically enthralled predecessors have failed, Whitney Museum of Art curator Paul does an impressive job of compressing the activity of a huge field, in which there are no obvious heroes and no single aesthetic line, into a readable pocket-sized book. |
 | | In fact, so much art is covered that Paul is often forced to contain her discussion of an artist's (or team's) entire body of work to a few sentences; the most information is found in the capacious captions accompanying the many illustrations. |
 | | The book explores themes addressed by and raised by the art, such as viewer interaction, artificial life and intelligence, political and social activism, networks, and telepresence, as well as issues such as the collection, presentation, and preservation of digital art, the virtual museum, and ownership and copyright. |
