{"product_id":"9781835951125","title":"Digital Embodiment and the Arts : Exploring Hybrid Spaces through Emerging Technologies by Denise Doyle","description":"A timely examination of the use of?emerging technologies in the arts in recent?decades, from the first wave of Virtual Reality?through to the current use of Mixed, Augmented?and Extended Realities. It highlights the necessity?of understanding technological experiences?through the assumption that all experience is?embodied. An explosion of digital culture and?experience has most certainly given artists and?creative practitioners new ways of exploring a?hybridisation of creative practices with access to?technological tools only previously dreamt of.?Further, there are a number of threads around?digital embodiment and its centrality to the digital?experience.   The book is divided into 3: Section 1 explores the?whole notion of embodied experience through a?study of space and virtuality, imagination, and?technology. Section 2 lays the ground for a more?explicit understanding of the role the body has in?our engagement with the digital technologies?focussing on three distinct bodies: the? gravitational body, the virtual body, and finally the?hybrid body. Section 3 is split into three?chronological chapters in terms of technological?developments, that of VR, Virtual Worlds, and?Augmented, Mixed, and Extended Realities.   While individual aspects and themes covered here can be found in some recent books, there is little that places digital embodiment within the arts in the way this book does. A unique synthesis.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56307594789237,"sku":"9781835951125","price":24.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781835951125.jpg?v=1762804494","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781835951125","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
