In Postmodern Currents: Art and Artists in the Age of Electronic Media, Margot Lovejoy explores how art has changed with the rise of electronic media. Lovejoy takes a straightforward approach to dissecting the impact of technology on artistic expression in the postmodern era. The book studies how artists navigate traditional forms in the face of emerging technologies. Lovejoy’s work serves as a foundational text in the genealogy of electronic art.
