Attend the book release of Virginia Heffernan’s “Magic and Loss: The Internet as Art” this Tuesday, June 28, 2016, 7:30pm at The Booksmith, 1644 Haight Street, San Francisco.
About the Book:
The Internet as Art reveals the logic and aesthetics behind the Internet. Since its inception, the Internet has morphed from merely an extension of traditional media into its own full-fledged civilization. But its deep logic, its cultural potential, and its societal impact often elude us. Just as Susan Sontag did for photography and Marshall McLuhan did for television, an original and far-reaching analysis of what the Internet is and does.
Virginia Heffernan is a regular contributor to the New York Times Magazine, who began writing for the Times in 2003—first as a television critic in the Arts section, then as an Internet columnist at the Sunday Magazine.
