In a world increasingly dominated by the digital, the critical response to digital art generally ranges from hype to counterhype. Popular writing about specific artworks seldom goes beyond promoting a given piece and explaining how it operates, while scholars and critics remain unsure about how to interpret and evaluate them.

Summary:
In a world increasingly dominated by the digital, the critical response to digital art generally ranges from hype to counterhype. Popular writing about specific artworks seldom goes beyond promoting a given piece and explaining how it operates, while scholars and critics remain unsure about how to interpret and evaluate them. This is where Roberto Simanowski intervenes, demonstrating how such critical work can be done. Digital Art and Meaning offers close readings of varied examples from genres of digital art such as kinetic concrete poetry, computer-generated text, interactive installation, mapping art, and information sculpture. For instance, Simanowski deciphers the complex meaning of words that not only form an image on a screen but also react to the viewer’s behavior; images that are progressively destroyed by the human gaze; text machines generating nonsense sentences out of a Kafka story; and a light show above Mexico City’s historic square, created by Internet users all over the world. Simanowski combines these illuminating explanations with a theoretical discussion that employs art philosophy and history to achieve a deeper understanding of each particular example of digital art and, ultimately, of the genre as a whole.

Summary:
Que produisent ces millions de sons et d’images qui circulent chaque année devant nos yeux et entre nos oreilles, par nos téléphones portables, nos ordinateurs ou nos tablettes? Quelles catégories esthétiques correspondent à l’époque de la démocratisation des biens d’équipement et de l’amateurisme consacré? Où l’art contemporain se niche-t-il dans les réseaux sociaux? Entre 2009 et 2011, le groupe de recherche «Basse définition», initié par Nicolas Thély et regroupant Annie Gentès, Anne Laforet, David-Olivier Lartigaud, Karine Lebrun, Gilles Rouffineau et Stéphane Sauzedde, s’est enquis d’interroger ce qui gouverne aujourd’hui les manières de penser et de créer des acteurs du monde de l’art. S’inscrivant dans le champ des Humanités numériques, cet ouvrage se présente sous la forme d’un guide de requêtes qui prend acte de la redistribution et de la diffusion du savoir par les moteurs de recherche et les encyclopédies collectives. Il a pour ambition de prolonger la recherche en contribuant à fabriquer des ressources de première main: artistes et chercheurs de différentes générations ont ainsi choisi leurs propres mots clés et les ont enrichis de leurs expériences afin de les rendre communicables. Ouvrage publié avec le concours de l’Université Paris I Panthéon-Sobonne

Giorgio Agamben Les dispositifs où se jouent désormais nos existences – du téléphone portable à la télévision, de l’ordinateur à l’automobile – ne se trouvent pas face à l’homme comme de simples objets de consommation. Ils transforment nos personnalités. La question devient alors : quelle stratégie devons-nous adopter dans le corps à corps quotidien qui nous lie aux dispositifs ?

Summary:
The world is filling with ever more kinds of media, in ever more contexts and formats. Physical locations are increasingly tagged and digitally augmented. Sensors, processors, and memory are not found only in chic smart phones but also built into everyday objects. So it is worth remembering that underneath all these augmentations and data flows, fixed forms persist, and that to notice them can improve other sensibilities. Ambient Commons invites readers to look past current obsessions with smart phones to rethink attention itself, to care for more situated, often inescapable forms of information.
