The essays in Context Providers are rich with observations from
artists, educators, humanists, scientists, and curators who address
the recent histories of digital media and the ways in which media
art and culture challenge and reframe ways of constructing meaning
through the creative process and people's engagement with it. They
are supplemented by notes and references and, when illustrated, are
annotated with captions that offer further commentary."-- "Choice"

"With major essays written by a range of experts in this emerging
field, Context Providers articulates a seminal language to
previously unexplored territories. It explores ethics in the
conditions of meaning in ways that are both accessible and
provocative."--Lynn Hershman Leeson, University of California,
