Critical Examinations of New Media Art and Digital Culture

Description

LichtyÕs range of commentary and analysis dissects nearly two decades of what has now become new media society. Before FacebookÕs IPO and WikileaksÕ media storm, artist-as-activists experimented with data gloves, virtual world performance, and anonymous, anarchic disruptions determined to bewilder traditional enclaves of art and political society. In this collection Lichty presents several such experiments in distributed creativity: collaborations across a range of technologies and platforms, where authorship becomes a vague placeholder and sometimes acts as a performance in of itself, and the artwork is equally in flux, always in process, and often disappearing into bits.
