Reviews

This is an exciting and important book which opens up a fresh and engaging new line of research into 'digital movement'. Its essays are direct, lively and insightful, and the book incorporates rich theoretical perspectives and practical case studies from across a wide range of disciplines, while effectively mixing the historical with the cutting-edge contemporary. A bold and significant new work. - Professor Steve Dixon, President of LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore
