<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span>‘Digital
Dynamics in Nordic Contemporary Art’</span> marks the first
comprehensive, English-language
exploration of art’s contingent evolution with technology and digital
culture
in the Nordic region. The book provides new art histories from
specific regional areas and on the emergence of different artistic
cultures and
networks in the Nordic art scenes to fill the gap within the existing
narratives surrounding global contemporary art and digital culture. The
book
explores the role of art in response to changing sociopolitical
realities in
the welfare state and in the wider world, while also going beyond
familiar
depictions of ‘Nordic aesthetics’ in art. Topics include: digital
materiality, sound, interactivity, art institutions, new Nature,
virtual worldmaking, art and biology, Nordic noir, among
others. This publication includes first-hand perspectives by pioneering
and
pivotal artists as well as chapters penned by leading scholars and
curators of
Nordic art. ‘<span>Digital Dynamics in
Nordic Contemporary Art’</span> recasts the Nordic art context in an expanding
digital condition and reveals horizontal ways to write its histories.<span></span></p>
