Today's electronic street cultures, active in 'invisible' yet terribly real cities, are crying to be shaped. Their chaotic and often contradictory forms do not have to be scaled down or tamed. Instead, they can be taken further, into eccentric orbits of freedom and solidarity, even if the possibility of spiralling into dystopias of violence never seems far away.

	The Digital Dialectic.

	The Language of New Media - Lev Manovich In this book Lev Manovich offers a systematic and rigorous theory of new media. He places new media within the histories of visual and media cultures of the last few centuries. He discusses new media's reliance on conventions of old media, such as the rectangular frame and mobile camera, and shows how new media works create the illusion of reality, address the viewer, and represent space. He also analyzes categories and forms unique to new media, such as interface and database.

The Visual Mind includes 36 chapters covering Geometry and Visualization, Computer Graphics, Symmetry, and Perspective, with introductions on each of these topics. The chapters are richly illustrated in color and in black and white.

	Virtual Art. From Illusion to Immersion - Oliver Grau In this book Oliver Grau shows how virtual art fits into the art history of illusion and immersion. He describes the metamorphosis of the concepts of art and the image and relates those concepts to interactive art, interface design, agents, telepresence, and image evolution. Grau retells art history as media history, helping us to understand the phenomenon of virtual reality beyond the hype.
