It examines the aesthetic aspects of the interface through a theoretical exploration of new media artists, who create, and tactically deploy, digital interfaces in their work in order to question the socio-cultural stakes of a technology that shapes and reshapes relationships between humans and non-humans. In this way, it shows how use of the digital interface provides us with a critical framework for understanding our relationship with technology.Routledge advances in art and visual studies.Human-computer interactionInstallations (Art)Interactive artNew media artArt & design styles: from c 1960bicsscInstallation artbicsscMedia studiesbicsscHuman-computer interactionInstallations (Art)Interactive artNew media art.Art & design styles: from c 1960Installation artMedia studies709.04074Shanbaum Phaedra 1795489UkLoBPUkLoBPBOOK9910965033703321The digital interface and new media art installations4336845UNINA
