Trailblazing women working in digital arts media and education
established the Midwest as an international center for the artistic
and digital revolution in the 1980s and beyond. Foundational events
at the University of Illinois and the School of the Art Institute
of Chicago created an authentic, community-driven atmosphere of
creative expression, innovation, and interdisciplinary
collaboration that crossed gender lines and introduced artistically
informed approaches to advanced research. Interweaving historical
research with interviews and full-color illustrations, New Media
Futures captures the spirit and contributions of twenty-two women
working within emergent media as diverse as digital games, virtual
reality, medicine, supercomputing visualization, and browser-based
art. The editors and contributors give voice as creators integral
to the development of these new media and place their works at the
forefront of social change and artistic inquiry. What emerges is
the dramatic story of how these Midwestern explorations in the
digital arts produced a web of fascinating relationships. These
fruitful collaborations helped usher in the digital age that
propelled social media. Contributors: Carolina Cruz-Niera, Colleen
Bushell, Nan Goggin, Mary Rasmussen, Dana Plepys, Maxine Brown,
