I reviewed these, and it IS concerning. Most of these are books and films, or operas? What's going on here? I think we are in a time where electronic media art is in a bit of an identity crisis. I almost feel like the end of Don Hertzfeld's "Rejected" when the cartoon starts falling apart. It seems like in the mid-2000's that there was a confluence of effects; New academic artists versus DIY, Art worlders versus what would become public practice, the emergence of 'brand'-movements; it;s all complex and not as dialectic as all this. There are cultural moments where there is a confluence I think 1998-2002 was one of those periods. I just think that we have a lot oaf really strong work, and as Speculative Realism and OOO are trying to take the mantle from Postmodernism, things like Glitch and Post-Internet (among others) are trying to be the successors to New Media as "handles" for moments in time.
