Its history can be traced simply by admiring the crisp black-and-white illustrations of gates; railings; screens; and other elaborately rendered works. 241 black-and-white illustrations.

A Must-Read for Tactical Media; Street Artists and Alternate Reality Game (ARG) DesignersBy Celia PearceLast year; I attended Come Out Play; a festival of outdoor and alternate reality games; a growing genre of often technologically-enabled games that take place in the real world. The lower Manhattan venues at which this distributed event was hosted were; in some cases; the very same locales where some of the performance art described in C. Carrs "On Edge" took place. Having been in New York at that time; and attended some of the "happenings" she described; I was amazed at how much this innovative new movement has in common; unbeknownst to itself; with this historical but often forgotten moment in intangible art. Indeed; there is one piece Carr describes which is so similar to Blast Theorys "Uncle Roy All Around You" its uncanny. Anyway; for anyone working on tactical media; street art; or pervasive/locative games; ARGs; etc.; this book will provide some valuable insight into contemporary practices through reflection past experimentation.
