Bøker av Janet Kraynak

"Exhaustively researched and beautifully written, Contemporary Art and the Digitization of Everyday Life is a vital text that compellingly argues for a reassessment of digital culture's pervasive impacts. At the heart of Kraynak's investigation is a critique of techno-fetishism and digital utopianism, both of which have failed to acknowledge how new technologies have contributed to the erosion of democracy."--Derek Conrad Murray, Professor of Art History and Visual Culture, University of California, Santa Cruz "This volume is essential reading for anyone aware of a waning public sphere and diminishing returns for art's historic institutions and legacy of critique. By astutely unveiling how social exchange online, disguised in the disruptive tropes of the historical avant-garde, uniquely empowered antidemocratic forces, Kraynak underlines how such developments force a reevaluation of participatory and networked artistic practices today."--Tim Griffin, Executive Director and Chief Curator, The Kitchen
