Web sites and software art

The first major illustrated survey of this exciting, new, and experimental field. Building on the traditions of art history and using advanced technologies, digital artists push the boundaries of artistic expression and explore some of the most urgent social, political, and biological issues facing humankind today. Traditional activities such as painting and sculpture have been radically transformed by digital techniques and media, while entirely new forms, such as Net art, digital installation, and virtual reality, have emerged as recognized artistic practices, collected by museums, institutions, and individuals the world over.
