Digimag 63 - April 2011 http://www.digicult.it/digimag_eng/ The archive section, past articles and issues: http://www.digicult.it/en/Archive/ The updated list of authors and critics www.digicult.it/en/credits "...I would say that every advanced art and art form has a tendency towards "enlightenment", since to be understood and appreciated it needs an "enlightened" or at least open minded audience, with a willingness to reflect upon one's own systems of understanding, of how we perceive and decode the world. I doubt that this makes me a "political" artist in the sense we normally use to consider that notion. But hopefully I'm a political artist in the way Theodor Adorno would describe it....I would say that I am influenced by new technologies, and formats, however ex negativo: These forms are not just new and "innocent", but were designed to replace analog film - and analog film as a medium of fine art cannot be replaced by digital technologies since the materiality of the two media are completely different and have nothing to do with one another. I decided to make work that illustrates and celebrates the qualities of analog film which cannot be replaced by non-analog media". Peter Tscherkassky, from "Peter Tscherkassky.
