Re: <nettime> History of Computer Art, chap. V

Have to agree completely, it gets very boring seeing histories that are 
only about the US and Europe or so called global histories/exhibitions 
that cover only the US, Europe and a few token Chinese artists.

In 2011 an excellent book "Synthetics" was released written by Stephen 
Jones and published by MIT Press on the history of computer and 
electronic art in Australia from 1956-1975. 
https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/synthetics THis is yet more proof of the 
falsity, or at least inadequacy, of the current approach.
