Laurence GARTEL is considered the "FATHER" of digital art throughout the world for the past thirty (30) years. This book is journey through his entire career up until publication and is a time line through the expansion of digital technology.

GARTEL's work starts in the early 70s working side by side video guru Nam June Paik on analog systems throughout personal computers such as the Macintosh 512, Amiga, and propriety systems at research laboratories. He used the very first still video cameras manufactured for the Desert Storm War. In the book you will find important key works like his infamous ABSOLUT GARTEL ad for Absolut Vodka.

With over 250 pages and 400 color plates art historian Pierre Restany calls GARTEL a "Fabulist." The book reveals GARTEL's inexhaustible contribution to New Media. - iona , posted 04/05/05
