A practicing artist and a philosopher examine computer art and how it has been both
accepted and rejected by the mainstream art world. In a series of essays, Margaret
Boden, a philosopher and expert in artificial intelligence, and Ernest Edmonds, a
pioneering and internationally recognized computer artist, grapple with key questions
about the aesthetics of computer art. Other modern technologies--photography and film--have
been accepted by critics as ways of doing art. Does the use of computers compromise
computer art's aesthetic credentials in ways that the use of cameras does not? Is
writing a computer program equivalent to painting with a brush? Essays by Boden identify
types of computer art, describe the study of creativity in AI, and explore links between
computer art and traditional views in philosophical aesthetics. Essays by Edmonds
offer a practitioner's perspective, considering, among other things, how the experience
of creating computer art compares to that of traditional art making. Finally, the
book presents interviews in which contemporary computer artists offer a wide range
of comments on the issues raised in Boden's and Edmonds's essays
