Digital Media Arts

Reproduced music has long been the target of critical attack. A professional recording engineer and producer, the author argues that "repurposing" transforms the original work and feeds into our evolving notions of creativity, authenticity, and community.

The challenges of digital design and production are legal, ethical, and economic. This book discusses how new methods of fabrication and manufacture are affecting designers' creative rights, practices, payment models, ethics, and stances on ownership.

The growth and dynamism of creative industries depends on continuous innovation. The effect is a dizzying array of products and services, from advertising and architecture to wine, fashion, and music. Contributors to this anthology discuss intellectual property, financial investments in new kinds of art, technology's effect on authenticity, and more.

This collection explores the challenges of preserving complex digital objects such as simulations, visualizations, digital art, and video games. It also covers the legal and technical challenges of preservation, curation and authority, and digital archaeology.

This volume brings together various media types such as press conferences, documentaries and mockumentaries, images in magazines and on social media, horror movies, biopics, and educational games and explores how truth, authenticity, and knowledge communication are established and how they collide, merge, or are confused.

New forms of digital creation are rich with opportunities and risks. The authors cover five key issues -- identity, privacy, ownership and authorship, credibility, and participation -- exploring the ways young people may be redefining these concepts as they engage with new digital media.
