In the fields of music, video, internet and software, more and more artists make themselves independent from expensive hardware and develop their projects themselves on powerful PCs.

This book deals with the recent developments of art using digital media and concentrates on the topics of software, interactivity, participation and distribution. It evolved from the documentation of the international media art festival transmediale.01 which took place in Berlin in February 2001.

The result is a multi-faceted collection of project descriptions, texts, discussions and illustrations relating to the theme, Do-It-Yourself Media, which offers a vibrant representation of contemporary media culture and of the creative media potentials of digital media.
