This book is about art, written from an artist's point of view. It is also about computers, written from the perspective of a painter who uses them. It is a literate and witty attempt to make sense of the introduction of computer tools into the creation of art, to understand the issues and the fuss, to appreciate the people inolved and the work they do, and to know the promise of the new media, as well as the risks. It is written for a general audience, and should appeal equally to traditional art departments as well as computer graphics departments.

"This book is as much about painting as it is about the digital world. But beyond both it's really about visual intelligence. What makes it a joy to read is the lovely match between Faure Walker's subject and his style of writing: apparently artless, just making itself up as it goes along, but actually always with a witty spring, and never slack." -Matthew Collings, artist & author
