"Digital Art, which was born of the encounter between art and new technologies, is an art belonging to the multimedia, that comes from the field of audio, text, still and in motion images, and also of robotics, electronics, programming, engineering. What characterizes it is not, therefore, the mixture of genres (styles), but the creation and the construction of their own language. The field of digital art is the result from crosses of all kinds. Always proposes not yet catalogued heterogeneous objects; It is a complex mixture of the material and the immaterial, random and requirements, of openings and closings. As we will see in this book, most of the works of the artists studied here are hybrid objects, in which the technical possibilities serve to multiply the expressive forms. This hybridization is, without a doubt, one of the most interesting aspects of digital art, because it not only breaks the traditional barriers between different arts, but also introduces the artistic approach in areas that until there were unreachable. This book aims to investigate this new field of knowledge and practices of digital art. The authors, who come from different practices (philosophers, artists, art theoreticians, trans-disciplinary researchers) focused their reflections on encounters between art and new technologies.ʺ (HKB Translation)--Verso Cover.
