Fast, fluid, fragmented : art and design in the digital age

What does it mean to be a designer in the digital age? Marijke Goeting examines the nature and cultural effects of media and technologies that are crucial for the design of visual communication today: digital imaging, algorithms, computer vision, big data and high-speed computation. She analyses how contemporary works of art and design have reflected on, experimented with and imagined different ways of dealing with these technologies. Goeting identifies different approaches that artists and designers can take to engage critically, thoughtfully and alternatively with the digital tools at hand.
