In From Image to Interaction Arjen Mulder traces developments in the visual arts of the last 500 years that have led directly to the interactive art of today. He investigates the origins of modern art from Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo through to Kandinsky, Mondrian and Paul Klee. Mulder regards these figures as great artists, but more importantly considers them to be great media theorists. Step by step he develops a surprising perspective, also with regard to the role and value of visual culture and of design in our time. In his analysis of the feelings and experiences that are aroused by painting, photography, digital media and the interactive arts he adopts a groundbreaking approach, thus offering a novel outlook on art in his concise, clear-cut style.
