Artists of Information:
Case Studies
These are case studies of writers, artists, philosophers, theorists, designers, engineers, and others from the past and present whose work demonstrates the vital crossings between the cultures of the arts and of information. The crossings are implicit or explicit depending on the particular figure. In each case it is the whole matrix of information and art--the ability of art to emerge from information and vice versa--that is of interest.
