Throughout: Art and culture emerging with ubiquitous computing

Ekman, Ulrik - Personal Name;

Leading media scholars consider the social and cultural changes that come with the contemporary development of ubiquitous computing. Ubiquitous computing and our cultural life promise to become completely interwoven: technical currents feed into our screen culture of digital television, video, home computers, movies, and high-resolution advertising displays. Technology has become at once larger and smaller, mobile and ambient. In Throughout , leading writers on new media -- including Jay David Bolter, Mark Hansen, N. Katherine Hayles, and Lev Manovich -- take on the crucial challenges that ubiquitous and pervasive computing pose for cultural theory and criticism. The thirty-four contributing researchers consider the visual sense and sensations of living with a ubicomp culture; electronic sounds from the uncanny to the unremarkable; the effects of ubicomp on communication, including mobility, transmateriality, and infinite availability; general trends and concrete specificities of interaction designs; the affectivity in ubicomp experiences, including performances; context awareness; and claims on the real in the use of such terms as augmented reality and mixed reality.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
