Description
Book SynopsisLong before e-mail and the Internet permeated society, Roy Ascott, a British artist and theorist, coined the term 'telematic art' to describe the use of online computer networks as an artistic medium. This book explores Ascott's ideas on how networked communication has shaped behavior and consciousness within and beyond the realm of art.
