From Publisher:

This book examines in detail, from the perspective of over a dozen artists, the emerging role of technology, and in particular digital technology, in the portrayal of the body in contemporary art, and includes both text and numerous examples from the work of Laurie Anderson, Merce Cunningham, Toni Dove and others. Organized around the three themes of body language, constructed body, and body sights, the book, which catalogs an exhibition at the Wexner Center for the Arts, seeks to situate the relationship between body and technology in the continuum of modern and postmodern art.
