Takeover - Who's Doing the Art of Tomorrow? - Ars Electronica 2001 (Paperback)

The avant-gardiste principle of art as a driving force, giving impulse to developments in society as a whole, has undergone a shift: science, pop- and subcultural niches, business and entertainment, and software engineering are the epicenters of the exciting current developments. This book traces the trends in the work of a strongly committed and daring generation of young artists, who have set up their own platforms and established links and business models. What are the constellations and conditions defining tomorrow's art, where will it happen, who'll produce it and with whom? These are the questions discussed in Takeover: Who's Doing the Art of Tomorrow?
