Immersed in Technology: Art and Virtual Environments
by Mary Anne Moser and Douglas MacLeod

'Immersed in Technology' realises two extraordinary goals. It demonstrates that serious historical and critial thinking about VR and the implications of technologies of immersive environments can be accomplished with neither excessive speculation nor vague promises. It confirms that a number of artists are deeply engaged in extending the boundaries of representation into the territory of experiental computation without falling into the traps of cryptic electronic iconography or hollow interactive novelty. The essays and projects in this book confront the issues of electronic environments and virtual reality as a tangible cultural force linked with the development of communication media and an entirely revamped experience of art.'
