The book focuses on how the pioneers of yesterday and the emerging figures of today are depicting a meaningful history of the evolution of the homo digitalis. It aims to demonstrate that digital technology is a true medium of art opening infinite visual possibilities, rather than an experimental school or a fad art movement. Art Must Be Artificial highlights some of the specificities of this new art medium: how it has placed the viewer at the heart of the artistic experience and how it presents the dream of an unlimited artwork, close to an organic creation.
