At the Edge of Art Summary

At the Edge of Art by Joline Blais

This is the first publication to consider the expanding meaning of 'art' at the dawn of the Digital Age. Surveying a broad range of contributions from scientists, designers, code-writers, video-games authors and internet artists - disciplines beyond the conventional definition of art - the authors confront our definition of art and propose new modes of understanding and appreciating an entirely new world of art that exists principally through the internet.
