----------empyre- soft-skinned space---------------------- Thanks Renate and David . I think there's definitely a (re)newed interest in the relation between art and the economy generally - perhaps intensified in the new media realm because of its relation to capital AND precarious labour... I raised the question of the specific relation between finance and net art because of the ways in which financial networking has come to more generally subtend all networks in late capitalism...
Net art's critical relations with finance, then, becomes an investigation of the conditions of its own production. This I think is more critically acute than the ways in which early net art, like jodi.org, investigated the material and formal conditions of code as conditions for its production.... It's also interesting to see the extent to which alt-economies are beginning to be thought via net and new media art. Some interesting work being done by Furtherfield in UK.
