Críticas:

"With his new book, Timothy Scott Barker proposes a new vision of digital aesthetic theory by applying the process-oriented philosophy of Whitehead, Deleuze, Serres, and Bergson to interactive new media art. . . . By arguing that everything (human, machine, object) is in constant flux, Baker's theory gives agency to both the user and the work of art, debunking any notion of "subject" and "object" being "outside" of time. Both human and artwork are joined in a continuous process of dynamic interaction with one another, and it is this interaction that provides for a new paradigm of aesthetics."--ARLIS/NA Reviews Art Libraries Society of North America" "The author's theory of digital aesthetics is compelling.

Reseña del editor:

Eschewing the traditional focus on object/viewer spatial relationships, Timothy Scott Barker's Time and the Digital stresses the role of the temporal in digital art and media. The connectivity of contemporary digital interfaces has not only expanded the relationships between once separate spaces but has increased the complexity of the temporal in nearly unimagined ways. Invoking the process philosophy of Whitehead and Deleuze, Barker strives for nothing less than a new philosophy of time in digital encounters, aesthetics, and interactivity. Of interest to scholars in the fields of art and media theory and philosophy of technology, as well as new media artists, this study contributes to an understanding of the new temporal experiences emergent in our interactions with digital technologies.
