2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Digital CurrentsBy Leslie SutcliffeAn excellent discussion of issues related to technology and its effect on culture. I found myself underlining things and writing in the margins. She is at her best when framing philosophical issues and making generalizations about the future of art and technology; a little weaker when addressing actual artists and their work. She uses Platonic and Aristotelian philosophy to explain two ways artists approach technology and yet the book is refreshingly free of tech or art jargon. A great companion book would be Charles Aclands Residual Media.Residual Media0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
