scott, does this book have a basis in the history of visual and spatial culture or is it more directed towards an exploration of the more current goings on? i've been continually disappointed in the plethora of books about interactivity, virtuality, technology and creativity that seem to be floating in their own world of references--the most useful book i've found recently is Multimedia: From Wagner to Virtual Reality (eds. Randall Packer and Ken Jordan). thanks... samantha >worth getting -- > >scott > >***************************************** > >*Explorations in Art and Technology* >Linda Candy, Loughborough University, Leicestershire, UK; >Ernest Edmonds, Loughborough University, Leicestershire, UK >Springer-Verlag Heidelberg >2002.
