The digital art landscape, i.e., all forms of art that use digital technology as a tool for its creative process, display and presentation, is an extremely complex universe that doesn’t always lend itself easily to the identification of clear-cut formal categories.
In this handbook, I’ve tried to neatly and clearly organize the bulk of these creative practices, which are often identified through umbrella terms like “new media art” and “digital art,” going in order from their historical precedents up to more contemporary examples.
A large part of this e-book is dedicated to an in-depth look at topics such as crypto art, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), generative art and Web 3.0.
In addition, I also cover other phenomena that are unique to contemporary society, such as 3D animation, virtual reality, augmented reality and all that is “post-internet.”
Filled with numerous images, this e-book is composed of 15 chapters that are easy to browse thanks to the hypertext table of contents.
