Since 1983, Joseph DeLappe has made new media art that investigates how technology mediates the lives we live together. People make tools of all kinds to do many different things in the world, and DeLappe's art gives us occasion to press pause and consider what those tools really are, how they really work, and what they really do to our relationships with one another. The same technologies that connect us can divide us. The same media that entertain us can kill us. In a world totally transformed by new media, how do we remind ourselves to stay human, stay curious, stay creative, and, above all, treat each other well? This book accompanies the exhibition "Joseph DeLappe: The Jerome M. Westheimer Sr. and Wanda Otey Westheimer Distinguished Visiting Artist Chair.".
