The contemporary genre of software art is characterized by creative and  critical engagement with the technical language of computer programming.  While at one level this represents a new realm of artistic possibility, at  another level it raises fundamental questions concerning how aesthetic  practices can intervene within processes of logical abstraction and  instrumental engineering. This monograph argues that the potential of  software art resides less in defining a settled and clearly delineated creative  field than in opening up a space of vital aesthetic risk in which a variety of  discursive boundaries can be challenged. It begins by examining the notion of  software within computer science and new media theory, moves on to  provide an overview of the emergence of software art, and then considers a  range of specific dilemmas - of cultural position, of aesthetic visibility and of  recursive focus - that the genre confronts. These dilemmas are addressed  both generally and in relation to aspects of the author's own software art  practice. This monograph should prove interesting to theorists and  practitioners in the fields of media, new media and software art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783639435283\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Dilemmas and Possibilities of Software Art\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783639435283","offer_id":39489899233373,"sku":"9783639435283","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/d4dee21a-2ca3-49b2-8ca2-b612bd7e3b56.jpg?v=1773121010","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/risking-code-von-brogan-bunt","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
