Part One: Information Arts 
Posted by JonKatz on Tuesday February 12, @10:30AM
from the intersections-of-art-science-technology dept.
Culture is being re-defined right before our eyes. For centuries, art and
technology have been considered separate parts of culture. Now, because we
live in an information society, they may be be coming together. We are, say
some people who study such things, at a critical place in history, where
it's sometimes impossible to distinguish between techno-scientific research
and art. The creation, movement and analysis of ideas is increasingly the
center of our cultural, social and economic life. And that's why a startling
(and hefty) new book calls itself "Information Arts" -- because the art such
a culture produces has to deal with information if it's going to remain
central. So this is the first part of a series -- inspired by "Information
Arts," edited by Stephen Wilson and published by the MIT Press -- which
deals with the new intersection of art, science and technology. This book is
onto an enormous idea, exploring the science and art from algorithms,
robotics, quantum physics, coding, nanotechnologies, genetic and kinetic art
to electrical music, telecommunications and A.I.
