- Explorations in Art and Technology is about the creative process with the aid of computers in action, seen through the eyes of practitioners and researchers. It brings together artists, technologists, and researchers from the UK, Australia, the USA, Brazil, Germany, Italy, and Austria, who have written about emerging correspondences between virtual and physical worlds, between human and machine processes, between abstract concepts and their physical realisations, between music and visualisation and between film and painting. It is a story of new visions and new forms, focusing on computer-based environments and events, and on the elements of cognitive and learning activities. The edited volume brings together some of the key practitioners whose work has helped define the intersection of art and technology with a new generation of artists and researchers applying and developing cutting-edge technologies in the field of art.
The book is the result of a research network started at University of Loughborough in 1996. This network - Creativity and Cognition Research - hosted a series of artist residencies focused on the creative use of technologies. It was later expanded, becoming an internationally recognised multi-disciplinary environment to advance and understand practice in digital media the arts. It provides internationally recognised artists and technologists with a space to collaborate, experiment and create, as equal partners, in practice-based research.
It describes how artists have conceived and made novel digital works from a historical perspective and how interdisciplinary research has had a profound effect on the take up of digital technology in the wider community. It shows that a practice-based action research approach to case studies of artist residences enabled art and technology practitioners to take a significant role in the research and explores the nature of collaboration in this context.
