Digital art has become a major contemporary art form, but it has
yet to achieve acceptance from mainstream cultural institutions;
it is rarely collected, and seldom included in the study of art history 
or other academic disciplines. In MediaArtHistories, leading scholars 
seek to change this. They take a wider view of media art, placing it 
against the backdrop of art history. Their essays demonstrate that 
today's media art cannot be understood by technological details
alone; it cannot be understood without its history, and it must be 
understood in proximity to other disciplines - film, cultural and  media
studies, computer science, philosophy, and sciences
dealing with images.

Contributors trace the evolution of digital art, from thirteenth century

Islamic mechanical devices and eighteenth century phantasmagoria,  magic
lanterns, and other multimedia illusions, to Marcel Duchamp's  inventions
and 1960s Kinetic and Op Art. They reexamine and redefine  key media art
theory terms--machine, media, exhibition--and consider  the blurred
dividing lines between art products and consumer products  and between art
images and science images. Finally, MediaArtHistories  offers an approach
for an interdisciplinary, expanded image science,  which needs the trained
eye of art history.
