Reviews

By being post-human in the halcyon days of humanist criticism, and divided on the issue of emerging reproduction technology when it should have been an ascendant movement, Taylor describes why Computer Art has remained a largely invisible art form among museums and art writers. How astonishing that the pioneers of computer, digital, algorithmic, programming, and mash-up art are largely unknown at the very moment when the computer, or more specifically its handheld, lap bound, or otherwise omnipresent progeny are transforming virtually every aspect of existence! I read this, fascinated by the continued relevance of the artists (and their disputes) and delighted to know that finally, with this publication, there exists a portrait of an evolving movement that has worked assiduously at the boundaries of the art world for fifty years. -- Hannah B Higgins, Professor of Art History, University of Illinois Chicago, USA
