Going Digital: The Practice and Vision of Digital Artists by Joseph Nalven

"Going Digital: The Practice and Vision of Digital Artists", takes the unique approach of combining a how-to guide with critical and theoretical discussion. Look behind the scenes to see how a select group of artists, each working in their own distinct style, approach a common compositional challenge. Each artist is given a set of identical images and then uses those images to create an original work of art, documenting each step that leads to the finished piece and providing discussion of how their work is enhanced by digital technology.
Featuring rich imagery and instructional text guiding you through each step, each artist's presentation is placed within the context of art history and theory to stimulate thought and discussion about the challenges of digital art making. "Going Digital: The Practice and Vision of Digital Artists" provides you with both how-to knowledge practical theory necessary to create, discuss, and present art using digital technology. Also, gallery owners, curators and those who are increasingly asked to judge or place digital artwork within their exhibits will find valuable information about categorizing and why-to include digital art in their venues.
