on the matter of the digital in contemporary media art

Grounded in a series of process-oriented interviews conducted with thirty-three contemporary media artists from across North America and Europe, my doctoral research explored how contemporary media artists have aestheticized, conceptualized and grappled with the materiality of the digital through their artworks and practices of making.
