Examples of complex, born-digital, creative works
Follow the links below to look at some (or all!) of these examples of complex, born-digital, creative works.
A few of these works will be used as case studies in the workshop, so it may be helpful to review artist reflections and documentation as well (some of which is available on the artists' websites linked below).
