Computers are more and more becoming creative tools in music as well as in the visual arts and design. In the last few years, it has become clear that digital technology provides a platform for multimedia productions as well as a medium for new art forms. Computer Music and Computer Graphics & Animation have their own international forums. The need was felt, however, to bring together the diverse disciplines within art and technology in one international event - the First International Symposium on Electronic Art (FISEA). The Symposium attracted considerable interest and hundreds of papers and proposals were submitted, of which a selection were accepted. This book, also published as a supplement to the journal Leonardo, publishes 20 of these selected papers under the editorship of Wim van der Plas, Ton Hokken and Johan den Biggelaar. This richly illustrated issue on Electronic Art reflects the enormous international interest which FISEA generated and will further stimulate interest in applications of new technology in music, visual arts and design.

Electronic art offers endless opportunities for reflection and interpretation. Works can be interactive or entirely autonomous and the viewer's perception and reaction to them may be challenged by constantly transforming images. Whether the transformations are a product of the appearances or actions of a viewer in an installation space, or a product of a self-contained computer program, is a source of constant fascination. Some viewers may feel strange or unnerved by a work, while others may feel welcoming, humorous, and playful emotions. The art may also provoke a critical response to social, aesthetic, and political aspects of early twenty-first-century life. This book approaches electronic art through the teachings of Jacques Lacan, whose return to Freud has exerted a powerful and wide-ranging influence on psychoanalysis and critical theory in the twentieth century. David Bard-Schwarz draws on his experience with Lacanian psychoanalysis, music, and interactive and traditional arts in order to address aspects of the works the viewer may find difficult to understand. Dividing his approach over four thematic chapters—Bodies, Voices, Eyes, and Signifiers—Bard-Schwarz explores the links between works of new media and psychoanalysis (how we process what we see, hear, touch, imagine, and remember). This is a fascinating book for new media artists and critics, museum curators, psychologists, students in the fine arts, and those who are interested in digital technology and contemporary culture.

Digital Arts presents an introduction to new media art through key debates and theories. The volume begins with the historical contexts of the digital arts, discusses contemporary forms, and concludes with current and future trends in distribution and archival processes. Considering the imperative of artists to adopt new technologies, the chapters of the book progressively present a study of the impact of the digital on art, as well as the exhibition, distribution and archiving of artworks.Alongside case studies that illustrate contemporary research in the fields of digital arts, reflections and questions provide opportunities for readers to explore relevant terms, theories and examples. Consistent with the other volumes in the New Media series, a bullet-point summary and a further reading section enhance the introductory focus of each chapter.

The digital art landscape, i.e., all forms of art that use digital technology as a tool for its creative process, display and presentation, is an extremely complex universe that doesn’t always lend itself easily to the identification of clear-cut formal categories. In this handbook, I’ve tried to neatly and clearly organize the bulk of these creative practices, which are often identified through umbrella terms like “new media art” and “digital art,” going in order from their historical precedents up to more contemporary examples. A large part of this e-book is dedicated to an in-depth look at topics such as crypto art, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), generative art and Web 3.0. In addition, I also cover other phenomena that are unique to contemporary society, such as 3D animation, virtual reality, augmented reality and all that is “post-internet.” Filled with numerous images, this e-book is composed of 15 chapters that are easy to browse thanks to the hypertext table of contents. Part 1 Introduction: labels, labels and more labels! The predecessors of electronic art New media art and globalization Net art: hacktivism and artivism Software art: critical software and social software Digital art: fractals, Flash animation and ASCII art The latest trends: 3D, virtual reality and augmented reality Part 2 Post-internet: digital art makes its way into IRL galleries Digital art and the market: food for thought Survival strategies and the gift economy Hello crypto world! What are non-fungible tokens (NFTs)? Crypto art: digital art in the era of crypto technology Generative art: creativity that taps into non-human systems Web 3.0: a new way to think about the web
