Rating: Summary: Image Science Review: This book is a outstanding contribution to the upcoming new field image science.
Rating: Summary: Virtual Art by Grau Review: This book is an excellent rendition for electro-visual labs. The work is perfect if you are looking for new ideas on interior decorating for the home. There are many exotic art forms depicted in this work. Virtual reality is integrated into art immersion. The work provides a panoramic view of the Battle of Sedan. There are pictures of the Futurama in the 1939 World Fair. In addition, a screenshot portrays the Home of the Brain. The work is excellent for anticipated student school projects. This work is perfect for art enthusiasts, historians, interior decorators, architects , photographers and a whole host of professionals in varied fields.
Rating: Summary: Key Book Review: WIRED spoke about a "great read" and Lev Manovich decribed Grau's book as a "must-read for anyone interested in new media, art history, and any field using virtual images." - Grau lives up to expectations ! He analyzes what is new in media art by balancing recent works and historic media development, and so retells art history as media history. An interdisciplinary study in art history, media history, and new media art, the cross fertilization enriches his analysis and helps clarify the essence of immersion and Virtual Reality. Beyond Grau's analysis, I was thankful to see so many artists involved - many hot names. This book will be valuable for both practitioners and theoreticians. Hopefully there will be a paperback soon for students.
