Re-defining Total Artwork with the Use of New Technologies

This book looks at how technology is involved in the aesthetics of music and art, focusing on how the development of art and perception in the 20th century was influenced by the theoretical work of Wagner concerning the Gesamtkunstwerk. It also looks at the way we approach the term "Total Artwork" in the 21st century for interactive works in transdisciplinary art-forms and the role played by the combination of compositional thought and the visual in works-in-progress.
