Excerpt from introduction about an exhibition that this book accompanied:

"This project is the result of over two years of inquiry into the world of electronic imaging. Fascinated by the changes that digital technology has wrought on the photographic medium in the past decade, I felt the need to present a cross- section of this new tool's applications in the field of today's creative photography. This explains the origins of this exhibition, which will be the first in an ongoing series.
Digital technology is much more than a new production technique. It has caused a veritable revolution in various areas of communication with potent new tools like the cellular telephone, multimedial PCs, image-elaboration software, the Internet, digital cameras, and photographic-quality scanners and printers. Only recently have we begun to address the electronic image's impact on visual culture, while contemporary aesthetic theory hardly seems up to the task of meeting the tide of creativity that digital technology has brought to visual communications.
This exhibition was organized with the aim of confronting the repercussions of this new technology on the contemporary photographic image. Anyone who works in the photography field will eventually reap the benefits of this technological evolution at some level, knowingly or unknowingly. We shouldn't feel fear or anguish in the face of these important changes: art's role has always been that of poetically expressing the ever-transient human condition. This is why I've included the considerations of that Wise Photographer Ando Gilardi, whom I questioned on the digital revolution. He answered with a parable that is both simple and complex, as his ideas often are. It's a story that will prove a rewarding experience to those who read it with care. In curating "(R)evolution," I sought out various creative trends that formed within the cultural milieus of the U.S., Europe, and Asia. After having contacted hundreds of artists, I selected about fifty with the hope of offering an extensive portrayal of their diverse expressive forms. The new digital equipment and programs evolve with lightening speed, and I should like to emphasize that this is to be the first in a series of exhibitions on this theme. Though I wasn't able to exhibit all of the works I solicited from the artists on view, in the catalog and the CD-ROM that accompany the show, there is a richer documentation of their artistic output as well as their biographical profiles. I find that catalogs and CDs are invaluable instruments for exploring digital art and analyzing its creative applications at an international level.
TAU Visual has prepared us a useful analysis of the ins and outs of copyright law in many nations, explaining problems and situations that digital photographers and other artists would do well to concern themselves with. The organizational efforts behind the exhibit were sustained by sponsors from the photography sector Philips, and Imation, Nikon, and by the Museum of Science and Technology in Milan, to whom we express our gratitude for the sensibility with which they supported this project."
