This exciting new book explores the relationship between
cultural traditions and computers, looking at how people from very
different cultures and backgrounds communicate and how the use of
information technologies can support and enhance these
dialogues.
Historically we developed our understanding of other cultures
through traditional means (museums, printed literature, etc.) but
the advent of information technologies has allowed us access to a
plethora of material. Tosa asks the question Can we understand
other cultures using computers as media to supplement thinking and
memorization? Starting with a survey of art and technology, moving
into the area of culture and technology, the book culminates with a
vision of a new world based on an understanding of these
relationships, allowing cultural creators and viewers the
opportunity to reach a better and more profound understanding of
the role information technology will play going forward."
