horrible, evil essay. long words. long unnecessary words. long unnecessary boring words. little understanding and few points. not all doom and gloom, i did discover the word 'ghetto-isation' which is lovely and i will find a way to fit it into my dissertation somehow, and the word 'youtube-isation' which probably doesnt exist but can be coined for the sake of academia.
this blog is really just me regurgitating my notes into something that is readable:
- new media age dematerialised - not tangible whereas a sculpture for example is physically there.
- systems theory - cybernetics and shit. systems that exist in sociology, technology and culture etc and transfer them into other things e.g. group of people and how they systematically interact can be transferred to computers
re: system art - Simon Morse
"Todays 'new' media quickly becomes defunct, and the object of nostalgia and aestheticisation"
prioritising of non-visual aspects of the work e.g. Ellie Rees cake film was not about the visuals of cake (cake or death)
modernist priority was pure function and staying true to materials etc and in opposition it is now subordinate
what a load of old cack
