Description:Art as Inquiry presents an alternative approach to the history of
art and technology and art in the environment since the mid-sixties.
Focusing on the search for a new concept of art, and a different
function for the artist, this book discusses recent developments in Art
in Public Places and Media Art in terms of new modes of
interdisciplinary production and collaboration. In addition, Marga
Bijvoet argues, the nature of inquiry of these art works requires a
'field' interpratation, which perceives art as a set of relations in
context. She suggests that this 'movement' might eventually bear the
seed for a new paradigm of the visual arts.
