'This is the first book that critically situates the technologies of real-time computing within the broader discourses of visual and media history. From Jack Burnham to John Cage, Leroi-Gourhan to Marshall McLuhan, and Les immateriaux to Stanley Kubrick, Gere challenges us to consider the role of the entire apparatus of communication in the ongoing construction of art as information processing system.' Barbara Maria Stafford, author of 'Devices of Wonder: From the World in a Box to Images on a Screen' 'I have read Art, Time, and Technology with permanent and increasing admiration, pleasure, and excitement. Charlie Gere's book is without any doubt a major contribution to the field of 'art and technology' (and sometimes even 'art and science') studies, which it innovates in very stimulating ways ... one can only admire the breadth of the author's interests and the depth of his insights.' Leonardo Journal and Online Charlie's book is, without any doubt, a major contribution to the field of 'art and technology' (and sometimes even 'art and science') studies, which it innovates in very stimulating ways.
