Rachel
I sit down to read Rachel, Her Stage Life and Her Real Life, by Francis
Gribble, 1911 - 90 years after Rachel's birth, fifty-three years after her
death.
I stop. I can't go on. I don't know why I'm reading this. I feel in my
bones - incessantly - that I'm close to death. I felt this
I've posted before about the net art of David Jhave Johnston. I think he's
doing some of the most notable, significant net art right now. I originally
posted about his piece Sound Seeker at http://vispo.com/jhave . Here is some
related work.

I would just chime in here and reference Benjamin's famous art in

Hi Alan
What you are suggesting is that painting has become a primarily social
praxis which I am arguing about media in general. The question then might
be whether it was ever primarily anything else?

Art fairs, scoff the critics, have become shopping malls for the
super-rich. They are giant marketplaces for the wealthy to buy, invest
and speculate on the commodity of art. Galleries pressure artists to
churn out 'safe', sellable works, which are not so much looked at as
bought in bulk. As the

I think there were times it - and other media - were thought of as

Hi Rob,
Ywhat is so different with say (media art or whatever it is), is that,
it all comes from a different kind of place than the more linear, canon
of art history, so not only are we dealing with issues of language, we
are dealing with cultural paradigm shifts which declare alternative

Once our histories and practice are owned by the powers that be, then we

It is arguable whether the terms you have indicated are all native to
computer art. Yes, they are native to networked culture and
techno-aesthetics but computer art is a more specific area of practice. The
terms you have used that are primarily applicable to that practice is

Do we want to be part of their canon? I would suggest that it is the
artworld that has some catching up to do not those who are already active
in the new media and network domains. The artworld is so old media.

Are we talking about specific approaches to thinking about art and
contextualising (media) art history? If that is the case then I think all
approaches are valid. I think it's important to develop contexts for the
development of arts practice, but rather than throwing out certain
approaches and

I wonder if the word 'media' has any use at all at this point; it too is
overdetermined. One might speak of - and this is also a mess and stretch-
ing it - of an artifact culture and a transmission culture. The former
emphasizes things that stay pretty much where they are and are pretty much
