Bøker i THINKING ART SERIES-serien

Image in the Making examines the ways in which digital technology changes our understanding of and engagement with the visual arts. At the current stage of development in digital technology, we cannot always tell, just by looking, that an image was made with digital - versus analog - tools. But a case can be made for fully appreciating an image only in terms of its underlying digital structure and technology.

As the sunset swings into view, you think, "That's beautiful." You take a bite of cake and you think, "Wow, that's sweet." Maybe too sweet. You hear that new song and it blows you away. You play it for your friends. The novel is wonderful, the movie disappoints, the dress looked better in the store. Three philosophers offer their perspectives on how your aesthetic commitments move you through the world and shape your well-being, your sense of self, and yourconnections to others.
