To celebrate the publication of Art and Electronic Media, the most comprehensive and authoritative survey of new media art, NIMk will host the international book-launch.

• Edward Shanken, the author, will share insights and highlights, answer questions, and autograph copies of the book, for sale at 37% discount (cash only)
• Annet Dekker will lead a discussion with the author and the audience
• Yolande Harris (NIMk resident artist, 2008) will perform new electronic music

Art and Electronic Media (Phaidon, 2009) demonstrates the formidable history of artistic uses of electronic media. Over 200 artists and institutions from more than thirty countries are represented. It enables the rich genealogy of art and electronic media to be seen – literally and figuratively – as central to the histories of art and visual culture.
