Why This Book Matters

EXPOSE 4 provides a period snapshot of digital art practice in 2006. The call for entries attracted 5,200 submissions, double the number received for EXPOSE 3, and the expanded twenty-category structure was created to feature more of that work.

The advisory board included professionals such as Christopher Sloan, Art Director for National Geographic; Lorne Lanning of Oddworld Inhabitants; Dan Curry, VFX producer for Star Trek; and Pixar artists Sharon Calahan and Robin Cooper. Their involvement connects the collection to the broader film, game, and publishing industries.
