Jonathan Lipkin

My new book is Photography Reborn, published by Harry N. Abrams. From the publisher: "In this important companion to a new art form, author Jonathan Lipkin chronicles the rise of digital technology and explores its impact as well as the limits of its possibilities. Every kind of digital image from MRI scans to fine art is highlighted here, from an obscure scientific application, through its adaptation by pioneer computer artists, to its acceptance by the mainstream of the art world. This seminal text-coupled with fascinating images and examples by contemporary artists Andreas Gursky, Thomas Ruff, Pedro Meyer, Nancy Burson, and Loretta Lux-is uniquely appropriate for anyone interested in visual communications, photography, and culture. "
It is available from Amazon.com and from bookstores.
I co-authored In The Realm of the Circuit, published by Prentice-Hall. Broad in scope, this book provides a clear introduction to both the aesthetics and historical precedents of the multi-faceted dialog of which electronic multimedia is the latest incarnation. For creative people in all of the arts.
