PUBLICATIONS

SYNTHETICS BY STEPHEN JONES
NOW AVAILABLE FROM LEONARDO BOOKS/THE MIT PRESS
New technologies continually arise, offering repeated opportunities  
to artists in search of the technologically novel. Stephen Jones  
calls this phenomenon the "rolling new," and in Synthetics he  
describes how artists in Australia used new technologies in their  
art, from the early days of digital computing in the 1950s to a  
landmark exhibition in 1975. Jones looks at not only the artists and  
the artworks they produced but also at the evolution of computing  
technologies and video displays as these new forms of media developed  
into tools that artists could use. Find out more
