Digital Art and Cultural Commentary

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Work of Art in a Digital Age: Art, Technology and Globalisation

Abstract

This chapter establishes grounds for perceiving digital art as a critical voice—one that can facilitate both personal and affective responses to globalisation. It posits that digital art is borne of a turbulent era, sharing an intimate history with globalisation. This chapter shows how art can function as a platform for cultural commentary. It also provides means for considering and contextualising the digital art case studies presented within the text.
