The Garden of Digital Delights: Crossmedia Practices in Contemporary Art explores the key issues and art practices resulting from the fusion, synergy and convergence of various forms of art and digital media. Though for Borges The Garden of Forking Paths is “an enormous riddle, or parable, whose theme is time,” this volume celebrates a wide range of approaches to the analysis of spatial and temporal aspects of media art as well as numerous topical concepts of media culture – amongst others generativity and the sublime (analysed by Ksenia Fedorova), media convergence and/or hybridity (explained by Indrek Ibrus, Paulius Petraitis, Raivo Kelomees, Renata Šukaitytė, Denise Doyle, José Cláudio Siqueira Castanheira, Paulius Petraitis, Vytautas Michelkevičius and Tomas Pabedinskas), immersion (explored by Ksenia Fedorova and Renata Šukaitytė), interactivity and virtuality (analysed by Christopher Hales, Ksenia Fedorova, Renata Šukaitytė and Denise Doyle), ludology (elaborated by Paulius Petraitis) and mapping (analysed by Vytautas Michelkevičius). The volume reveals diverse transdisciplinary approaches to analysing contemporary digital media artefacts – from theoretical texts focusing on digital narrative and the broader aesthetic issues of new hybrid art to key studies of the production, distribution and consumption environment of digital art and cultural artifacts, as well as insights into new interactive platforms and interdisciplinary approaches to teaching, learning and entertainment.
