Overview

"The late 20th century was a formative phase in the history of digital media culture. The introduction of ""new media"" was associated with promises for the future that still resonate today. This book brings together contributions that discuss key aspects of the ""imaginaries"" surrounding new media in this epoch. The focus is on the works of the media artist group Van Gogh-TV, especially the historically very important interactive television project ""Piazza virtuale"" (1992)."
