The issue of real time and art is multifaceted and complex. It is not just another case of a new media entering art, but as much, and as importantly, a reiteration of the oldest of aesthetic questions: What is the relation between art and reality? And how does art reflect the norms of this relation.
In this anthology some of the most influential theorists, historians and artists that work within the field of real time + art have been asked to describe and possibly even define it. The result is a kaleidoscopic play of ideas and art forms that together define a wide range of issues in art.
