Description
This guide offers new perspectives on the role of new technologies in creative and collaborative practice in performance. The RADICAL project, out of which this book came, takes good practice examples and weaves them together to show how each field can influence each other, while a common cloth is woven. This book covers a range of digital arts and media subjects of most relevance to the current generation of makers and users, ending with a series of position papers on the funding and political frameworks in which this body of work is set.
