Anthem Press Digital Art in Ireland: New Media and Irish
Book SynopsisThis collection of essays explores digital art in Ireland. Comprising contributions from EL Putnam, Anne Karhio, Ken Keating, Conor McGarrigle, Kieran Nolan, Claire Fitch, Kirstie North and Chris Clarke, it examines how new media technologies are shaping the island’s contemporary artistic practices. As one of the first dedicated culture-specific treatments of Irish digital art, it fills a major gap in the national media archaeology of Ireland, engaging with a range of topics, including electronic literature, video games and the data-city.Trade ReviewThe nine essays in the collection each offer a different vantage on the emerging realm of digital art in a country that both takes tradition seriously and understands tradition as (to quote Joyce) a nightmare from which we are trying to awake.[…] Digital Art in Ireland is an indispensable contribution to our appreciation of digital art in an Irish context. - James Joyce Quarterly“Digital Art in Ireland is a bracing and eminently readable investigation into the born-digital poetry, visual art, music, and performance that have emerged in Ireland in recent decades. Experimental art is alive and well, and this essay collection presents a lucid meditation on the cultural and material specifics of new media art. In spite of its technological circulation among data assemblages, born-digital artwork is no less a medium for site-specific cultural expression; Digital Art in Ireland explores the profound ways in which Irish culture and history leave their impression in and on new media art. It, thus, offers a major contribution to the emerging global field of digital art.” — Jonathan P. Eburne, Professor of Comparative Literature, English, and French and Francophone Studies; Director of Undergraduate Studies, Comparative Literature, Pennsylvania State University“Digital Art in Ireland offers a fascinating insight into Ireland’s emerging digital arts scene with perspectives from scholars, practitioners, and curators.
