A dizzying array of artworks by over fifty creators, illustrated in a dynamic design that challenges conventional art publications. Desktop computer technology and the Internet have opened up new possibilities for artistic creation, distribution, and appreciation. But in addition to projects that might conventionally be described as newmedia art, there is now a wide spectrum of workunclassified until this bookby practitioners not normally thought of as 'artists.' Engineers, software programmers, biologists, and architects, among others, are producing work on the Internet that can only be described as 'art.' Or can it?As rapid technological and scientific advances raise new cultural, ethical, and moral issues, while the white walls of the conventional museum or gallery seem to be straitjacketing cultural development, Joline Blais and Jon Ippolito confront our definition of art. The book explores six strands of creation: Code as Muse: new artistic possibilities opened up by computer programming; Deep Play: new narrative forms and aesthetics of computer games; Autobotography: the rise of Webcambased performance art; Designing Politics: seemingly real Web sites, used to subvert commercial and political enterprise;Preserving Artificial Life: a new biology established via humanengineered viruses and other digital lifeforms; and Reweaving Community: the emergence of an online art world whose fugitive existence resists definition. Over 350 fullcolor illustrations
