Summary
In
New Philosophy for New Media Mark Hansen defines the image in
digital art in terms that go beyond the merely visual. Arguing that
the "digital image" encompasses the entire process by which
information is made perceivable, he places the body in a privileged
position - as the agent that filters information in order to create
images. By doing so, he counters prevailing notions of
technological transcendence and argues for the indispensability of
the human in the digital era.--BOOK JACKET.
