| Summary |
"Parallax is a collection of ten essays by the Australian writer Darren Tofts. The essays brought together in Parallax explore the complexity of cultural production of the late twentieth century, a diverse, swirling interplay of traditional art forms, multimedia, cyberspace, and an overall preoccupation with the coming together of humans and machines: a fascinating nexus of art, culture and technology."--Back cover |
