The authors argue that contrary to the dictum that our computers should be invisible information appliances they are in themselves a medium like printing, film, radio and television. Bolter and Gromala want to show what digital art has to offer to web designers, education technologists, graphic artists, interface designers, and HCI experts. The book examines recent works of digital art from the 'Art Gallery at SIGGRAPH 2000'. The fact that these works have been included in such an important computer conference shows that digital art can be considered among the purest forms of experimental design.
