Hi Bob, Heather, Aymeric & all, I think that Bob has raised one of the most important questions that many artists ask themselves in respect of using technology as part of their art, and those who are interested in exploring it further themselves as a contemporary practice. This question can also be extended to those who wish to curate it and critique it as well, not forgetting audiences.
So my next question is, Rob's question ;-) "Art forms have their technical aspects. Artists are forever learning, playing, working and experimenting with the technology at their disposal. Tools for the job. Means and ends. Artists are largely focused on the latter; the ability to use the tools is presumed." "However when it comes to digital/new media/net art, discussion of the technical aspects still seems to predominate. Do you think that's in the nature of the technology? Or will there come a time when 'new media' artists won't have to talk like Formula 1 engineers?" marc _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
