"Poème électronique" was one of the first comprehensive multimedia works, which consistently used the handling of audio material in architectural space. This work was prepared by a trio of artists Le ...Corbusier, Edgard Varèse and Iannis Xenakis for the presentation of the Philips company at the World Exhibition in Brussels in 1958. Poème électronique is used in this book as a comprehensive term for a set of artistic acts associated with the Philips pavilion. A particular emphasis is placed on the personality of the solitaire and pioneer of electroacoustic music, Edgard Varèse. The present publication attempts to trace the lines of the development of the three main protagonists intersecting an interpretive framework designed by the aesthetics of contemporary art groups and movements.

The title of the publication Art and New Media defines both the collective author's field of interest and tactics of movement within the field. The term is constituted from two names - art and new ...media. This way we refer towards research focusing of mutual influences, references and fusions of artistic creativity and technology, especially with information and communication technologies (from radio, through first computer graphics, to virtual words and world wide web) following their development during 20th and the beginning of 21st century. Special attention is dedicated to the moments when the individual media were new and thus hopes and fears projected into them can be clearly detected in their reception. The presented collective monograph completes the work of the Musicology department of Faculty of Arts Masaryk University research team on the subject described as "function of technology in the development and in the production of performing arts", which was made possible thanks to the support of the Center of the Fundamental Research AMU&MU.
