Oliver Grau Interview in English

[Pete J. Otis]

"Critical media artists demand interfaces that fracture immersion, do not 
allow natural illusory integration into image worlds, and only open the 
medium as a space for reflection on the basis of distance... Virtual art is 
taking a similar road (to film) today, although the process is much faster 
because of the WorldWideWeb.

A new analysis of virtual images and their power from the perspective of 
art and media history is presented in Grau's new book in English "Virtual 
Art: From Illusion to Immersion."  A recommendable interview by presented 
by the Switch Journal.
