Drawing on the abundant and inventive resources of the publications anA Survey of Two Decades. During the 1980s and 1990s the Austrian-based Ars Electronica has played a pivotal role in the development of electronic media. Using Ars Electronica's archives as a resource, this text examines the effects of digital media on creativity, and on culture itself.
