Hi Gair,
A few suggestions:
Charlie Gere, Digital Culture, Reaktion Book, 2002
- it's historical but links the development of digital art into popular
culture
Matthew Fuller, Behind the Blip: Essays on the Culture of Software, Pluto,
2003
- written by member of I/O/D
Olga Goriunova + Alexei Shulgin (editors), READ_ME 2.3 READER: about
software art, NIFCA publication
- catalogue from the festival, contains some excellent short essays
Florian Cramer's website:
http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~cantsin/homepage/
- lots of good essays on software art
Martin Reiser + Andrea Zapp (editors), New Screen media:
Cinema/Art/Narrative, BFI publications, 2002
- for those interested in interactive video and narrative based works
Franck Stoffer (editor), Japanese Independent Music, Sonore, 2001
- not entirely digital but covers one of the most exciting music/sound art
scenes of the moment
Older books that are worth a read include stuff by: Sadie Plant, Sean
Cubitt and Manuel De Landa and www.ctheory.net.
best wishes,
Si.

I recently received the message below and it got me thinking: what IS there
in terms of books that reflect what's going on and carries a good charge of
ideas?
I kinow there's Manovitch and Geerd Lovinck but i think Monovich is a a new
greenberg
and to be honest I found 'dark Fibre" extremely dull.
so what else is there out there which could be recommended in order to
generate enthusiasm in a general but interested readership?

like to use it for books on environmental art and digital art. Thought you
might have some suggestions for the latter, you digital artist you.

of texts. See below.
