About this book
This book explores how digital image-making is integral to emergent modes of metaphysical reflection - to speculative futurism, optimistic nihilism, and ethical plasticity.
Author / Editor information
Strutt Daniel :
Dan Strutt is a lecturer in the department of Media, Communications and Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths, University of London, where he teaches film theory and analysis alongside social, cultural and economic theory.

Reviews
"Digital technology in the hands of artists can engender new strategies of resistance to the systematizing effects of all technology by revealing the inherent plasticity of any worldview. [...] These same techniques will likely be available to any creator in the near future, and it is Stutt’s convincing optimism that sees in this powerful world-shaping tool an empowerment and a potential 'ethic of exploration in an unstable, virtual, and sublime world.'"
