Recommended reading for anyone interested in twenty-first-century aesthetics and culture. * Alexander R. Galloway, Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication, New York University, USA *\u003cbr\u003eWhat does art\u003ci\u003e do \u003c\/i\u003ein an information-driven culture? Moreover, how\u003ci\u003e does\u003c\/i\u003e information-driven art enable us to take note of the changes in our culture? This book draws a line under competing theories of the place of art, post-internet, that have been jostling for space since pre-internet days, and reminds us – simply and urgently – that art\u003ci\u003e can \u003c\/i\u003eand does (or can even choose not to). Ceci Moss has written a clear-eyed conversational treatise that joins philosophies of technology and recent histories of information-driven art and her efforts will help any student or practitioner navigate our fluid media landscape. I've always wanted a book that brought Simondon, Lyotard, Laric, and LOL cats together, and now I've got one. * Sarah Cook, Curator and Professor of Museum Studies, University of Glasgow, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments Introduction: Active Agents 1.
