<a href="http://leonardo.info/isast/leobooks/books/gere.html"><img src="img/gere_cover-80.jpg" align="left" border="0"></a><em>White Heat, Cold Logic</em> tells the story of early British digital and computer artists—and fills in a missing chapter in contemporary art history. Contributors, including Roy Ascott, Paul Brown, Charlie Gere, Beryl Graham and others, describe the influence of cybernetics, with its emphasis on process and interactivity; the connections to the constructivist movement; and the importance of work done in such different venues as commercial animation, fine art schools and polytechnics. <a href="http://leonardo.info/isast/leobooks/books/gere.html">FIND OUT MORE</a>
