Art Beyond Digital

Digital technology has interfered in all the spheres private public and professional of our society and shaped them. Artists have always used the techniques or technologies of their time to express themselves. Yet it takes time for the art world to integrate new practices and new media. Impatient the most fervent advocates of digital art have structured themselves into international communities by organizing dedicated events. Their practices have now matured and the public is culturally ready to welcome their creations as it already does in festivals. At the same time we notice the first signs of digital acceptance in art both in institutions and in the contemporary art market. The purpose of this book is to study the works of current practices without focusing on their shared use of digital technology and to demonstrate that digital technology is a medium of contemporary art but that it is important to consider specificities.
