Eleven contributors to this volume reflect upon the unprecedented
ways in which digital media have been transforming art practice,
study and education. The authors - researchers, teachers,
custodians of art collections and picture libraries, and an artist
- cover a wide range of issues, arguing for a more profound
understanding of digital culture. With the benefit of hindsight it
is now possible to look at futures past and assess the disparities
between earlier visions of the future and reality. Frank accounts
are given of projects which had promised great advances but failed
to deliver, and others that have not only survived but continue to
flourish. Another account demonstrates how an individual can make a
difference to students' learning by applying new technologies in a
very pragmatic way. One of the most exciting advancements hinted at
in this volume are the ways in which communities of interest are
developing shared resources and cultivating a richer use of common
vocabulary and standards to transmit an abundance of knowledge and
experience. A look forward to the Semantic Web promises an even
wider sharing of knowledge.
