    ‘Photographers who use digital technologies as tools for creative expression
    are driving the most exciting and transformative developments in today's
    photography. Digital photographic and imaging technologies are the most
    recent development in an art and science whose history is one of constant
    technological innovation. Using sophisticated software and scanners, artists
    are able to enhance or alter photographs, and create mesmerizing effects.
    Focusing exclusively on digital photography, Sylvia Wolf explores a medium
    that challenges our notions of the role of the artist and of an image's
    relationship to the real. Taking readers from the earliest experiments in
    digital photography to the latest innovations, Wolf offers a historical
    perspective and points to future trends. The work of a global panoply of
    artists, including Ida Applebroog, Sheila Pree Bright, Peter Campus, Xing
    Danwen, Joan Fontcuberta, Tom Friedman, Andreas Gursky, Martina Lopez,
    Loretta Lux, Mary Mattingly, Wendy McMurdo, Andreas Müller-Pohle, Thomas
    Ruff, Lucas Samaras, and Jeff Wall, demonstrates how diverse and complex the
    field has become. This expert survey offers a riveting snapshot of a
    medium.’
