In >this context, this panel will address how art and architecture's functions >both resist and embrace being absorbed into this totalizing technological >network. In this schema the body which Marshal McLuhan theorized >technology to be an extension of into the world has begun to be colonized >through media's ability to not only create the means of representation, its >subject and content, but also organize author and audience alike. These >technologies, which the German theorist Friedrich Kittler has characterized >as only partly connected have already modified our established social >relationships, and are in the process of creating new ones. Think about >home shopping, the commodification of information, data and services, >teleconferencing and multi tasking, etc.. If the current trend is any >indication this unified technology (as a universal medium) will >significantly re-order not only how we conduct of our everyday lives but >literally will re-order the nature of our subjectivity and its attendant >taxonomies. Given the potential of this situation the question, we face is >not what might be the peformative or iconic terms of this technological >sublime -- but how we might address the ideological and epistomal >foundation upon which it is premised . >---- > > >=======================!!!!!!!!!========================== > McLuhan-L > The Herbert Marshall McLuhan Foundation >Owner: George Sanderson Moderator: Peter Montgomery >Access: http://listproc.stfx.ca/scripts/lyris.pl?site=stfx >========================================================== >
