Just off the top of my head, you might check out Janet Murray's _Hamlet on the Holodeck: The Future of Narrative in Cyberspace_ (New York: The Free Press, 1997). She does a nice job of connecting new technologies with larger aesthetic concerns. Also, and here's where my memory might be faulty, it might also be interesting to note that, as I recall, one of the first Hollywood feature films to be edited entirely on an AVID system (or at least AVID-like) was a rather run-of-the-mill Geena Davis vehicle called "Angie" (directed by Martha Coolidge). I seem to remember it's press-kit making a big deal about the break with traditional editing practices (no more overflowing bins, etc.). Of course, the extent of the use of the digital technology in this case would have been simply digitzing the film footage for editing (not for effects). Other filmmakers, of course, made sporadic and far more interesting use of non-linear technology before this, but it might be worth looking into anyway, if only because of the film's very standard, traditional approach. Can anybody out there corroborate or correct my memory of this?
