Ars Electronica 2002: Unplugged: Art as the Scene of Global Conflicts Book

Dedicated to the blind spots of globalization, to those mental and geographic barriers beyond which access to and participation in global networking--and the cultural and societal models that come with it--are not feasible, not allowed, or simply not wanted, the catalog for Ars Electronica 2002, the Festival for the Arts, Technology, and Society, features selected texts and exemplary projects pinpointing the vehemence with which the political momentum of art has returned to the agendas of intellectual discourse and the practice of art itself.
