Collection organized by Andre Parente and Katia Maciel.

he collection profiles the first results of the research projects carried out by the Image Technology Center, part of the School of Communication at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, and the Centre for Advanced Inquiry in the Interactive Arts, University of Wales, Newport College, United Kingdom.

These projects have sought to articulate the theories of the new technologies of the image with the construction of new forms of electronic art. By establishing contemporary ways of thinking the relationship between art, science and technology as transforming agents of the narratives of mankind, the 32 authors have gathered reports about what has happened in topics still controversial, as interactive cinema, multi-user environments, immersive projections and post-biological structures.

The book contains texts from: Nina Czegledy, Michael Punt, Tania Fraga, Jim Gimzewsk, Victoria Vesna, Christa Sommerer, Laurent Mignonneau, Eduardo Kac, Roy Ascott, Margaret Dolinsky, Suzete Venturelli, Mario Maciel, Maia Engeli, Gilbertto Prado, Diana Slaterry, Donna Cox, Ron Wakkary, Peter Anders, Mike Phillips, André Parente, Ricardo Basbaum, Kjell Petersen, Karin Sondergaard, Simone Michelin, Yacov Sharir, Claudia Westermann, Dene Grigar, Lucas Bambozzi, Guto Nóbrega, Pia Tikka, Katia Maciel, Jill Scott e Roy Ascott.
