Have to agree completely, it gets very boring seeing histories that are
only about the US and Europe or so called global histories/exhibitions
that cover only the US, Europe and a few token Chinese artists.
In 2011 an excellent book "Synthetics" was released written by Stephen
Jones and published by MIT Press on the history of computer and
electronic art in Australia from 1956-1975.

falsity, or at least inadequacy, of the current approach.

While on one hand this is a laudable effort to write such a history
and put everything online, on the other hand this should really be
called "A Western European and US history of Computer Art"
