Description
New media art presents many challenges to the curator and collector, but there is very little published analytical material available to help meet those challenges. This book fills that gap. Drawing from the editor?s extensive research and the authors? expertise in the field, the book provides clear navigation through a disparate arena. The authors offer examples from a wide geographical reach, including the UK, North America and Asia, and integrate the consideration of audience response into all aspects of their work. The book will be essential reading for those studying or practising in new media, curating or museums and galleries.
