Digital Currents explores the growing impact of digital technologies on aesthetic experience and examines the major changes taking place in the role of the artist as social communicator.Margot Lovejoy recounts the early histories of electronic media for art making - video; computer; the internet - in this richly illustrated book. She provides a context for the works of major artists in each media; describes their projects; and discusses the issues and theoretical implications of each to create a foundation for understanding this developing field. Digital Currents fills a major gap in our understanding of the relationship between art and technology; and the exciting new cultural conditions we are experiencing. It will be ideal reading for students taking courses in digital art; and also for anyone seeking to understand these new creative forms.

Great book!By HappyCustomerQuickly delivered to my door and contains a good range of Schumanns pieces. However; the "lay flat" binding does not work and its pretty frustrating. However; if you just make copies of the music for easy page turns; it works just fine.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. One of Dovers finest editions!By MikeThis book contains almost all of Schumanns major early works including Davidsbundlertanze; Carnaval; Kreisleriana; Kinderszersen; Toccata; Fantasiestuke; Papillions; and Abegg variations. (every important work from opus 1-19 except the fantasy in C major and the Symphonic etudes. These are in volume III.)Schumanns music is at the very heart of the piano repertoire. It is supremely beautiful and pianistic. Every pianist should have the complete ouerve of Schumann.The book is in marvelous condition. The binding lays flat easily; the notes are printed clear; and the editing is unobtrusive (Claras editing represents what the composer wanted).This book contains hours of music! It is certainly the greatest value! To buy all these pieces independently from; say; Henle would cost about $200!
