<h4>V01CE: Vocal Aesthetics in Digital Arts and Media<br>Now Available from the MIT Press</h4>
<p class="mainText"><a href="http://leonardo.info/isast/leobooks/books/neumark2.html"><img src="http://www.leonardo.info/isast/leobooks/img/covers/neumark2_cover-75-border.jpg" border="0" align="left"></a>Voice has returned to both theoretical and artistic agendas. In the digital era, techniques and technologies of voice have provoked insistent questioning of the distinction between the human voice and the voice of the machine, between genuine and synthetic affect, between the uniqueness of an individual voice and the social and cultural forces that shape it. <strong>V01CE: Vocal Aesthetics in Digital Arts and Media</strong>, edited by Norie Neumark, Ross Gibson and Theo Van Leeuwen, offers interdisciplinary perspectives on these topics from history, philosophy, cultural theory, film, dance, poetry, media arts, and computer games. <a href="http://leonardo.info/isast/leobooks/books/neumark2.html">Find out more</a></p>
