Sk-etchbook

I've got plenty of reading at the moment, still got a couple of month old .net and computer arts mags I'm working my way through but on top of this I've also got a few books out I'm just starting on.

1) Test your creating thinking - Just started on this one. It is aimed to improve lateral thinking skills and help you develop the techniques used to produce original works.

2) Figments of Reality - This is about the development of mind and human consciousness. It takes a look at the subject from a different angle as to what I have covered in other reading and examines the evidence relating to whether consciousness developed independently from culture or as a result of.

3) At a Distance Precursors to Art and Activism on the Internet - This Is the reading for my Critical Studies essay. I've only just read the preface so far. The book is part of The Leonardo Book Series, published by the MIT Press, it publishes texts by artists, scientists, researchers and scholars that present innovative discourse on the convergence of art, science and technology.
