Painting the Digital River: How an Artist Learned to Love the Computer

This is the first book to explore, in depth, the connections between painting and computer graphics. It celebrates the new vistas available to artists, but also highlights attendant problems. It is written in an accessible style, and illustrated with the author's work alongside works by Roman Verostko, Neo Rauch, Ellsworth Kelly, Mark Wilson, Ken Huff, Anna Ursyn, Lane Hall, Lisa Moline, Hans Dehlinger and Shelagh Wakely. It recounts the excitement of discovering paint software in the 1980s, the emergence of an alternative ‘digital’ art world and the dialogue art and technology.
