'This is a great book and a godsend for an intro digital media class.. The design is clean, the visuals are striking and the information is presented well.' - Joseph Von Stengel, Hartwick College, USA. 'Excellent book especially the link to contemporary thinking of art - a very different angle on digital art.' - Jane Souyave, University of Central Lancashire, UK. 'This title is helpful both as teacher reference for course structure/content as well as student reference for an unfamiliar art form ... a very thorough entry-level text.' - Ellen Quinn, Nwe Jersey City University, USA. 'A very good introduction into the area of digital art.' - Chris Golya, University of Portsmouth, UK. 'The time line introduction is handy ... interesting juxtapositions between artists and scientists, art and technology and some great examples.' - Fern Helfand, University of British Columbia, Canada. 'The book is very visual and broken into small chunks of information which is helpful as it encourages students to engage with it ... it helps to induct students into a variety of themes and ideas quickly...' - Garrett Lynch, University of Glamorgan, UK. 'Looks really thorough and wide-ranging and it's great to see it's no longer just focused on internet and digital installation art, but broader and looking at the processes and how to get started.' - Camille Baker, Brunel University, UK.
