Up-to-date
account of media art issues in the early 21st century

Early 21st century media arts are addressing the
anxieties of an age shadowed by ubiquitous surveillance, big data profiling,
and globalised translocations of people. Altogether, they tap the overwhelming
changes in our lived experience of self, body, and intersubjective relations. Shifting Interfaces addresses current
exciting exchanges between art, science, and emerging technologies,
highlighting a range of concerns that currently prevail in the field of media
arts. This book provides an up-to-date perspective on the field, with a
considerable representation of art-based research gaining salience in media art
studies. The collection attends to art projects interrogating the destabilisation
of identity and the breaching of individual privacy, the rekindled interest in
phenomenology and in the neurocognitive workings of empathy, and the routes of
interconnectivity beyond the human in the age of the Internet of Things. Offering
a diversity of perspectives, ranging from purely theoretical to art-based
research, and from aesthetics to social and cultural critique, this volume will
be of great value for readers interested in contemporary art,
art-science-technology interfaces, visual culture, and cultural studies.
