ART, IMAGES AND NETWORK CULTURE

This book addresses the impact that the Internet and new connective technologies have had on the development of contemporary art over the last two decades. It deals with a wide range of themes: the emergence and key aspects of ‘social media art , the issue of online identity as a particular theme within artistic practice, the links between digital connectivity and the physical space (telepresence teleproxemics, augmented reality, geolocation, etc.), forms of property and the digital commons, the critical thematisation developed by cyberfeminist creativity, the transformations in the gaze, and the new ways in which images are generated, circulated and propagated in a digital context articulated by social media.
