about this lovink's lecture... (below) i just remembered what aureia (entropy) told me about her last work, she said that it wasn't recognize i see all this from the point of feeling of a writer who saves her life doing other things, playing php, drawing snakes&ladders boards... im not a programmer as auriea or mez or jim punk... and i do observe that webspecifics went somehow down... i really enjoyed them years ago... and i must confess that in this netbehaviour net i'm again enjoying webspecifics as golden times with hell collective... in one of bruno schulz's books, this *development* is explained... of course, deleuze did it too, 1 thousand plateu-mesetas it has to be with life... isn't it? life spreads itself like a {hot whore} in a summer night... a flower with the universe in herself... i would like to comment this report more deeply, but im not secure with my english... there is something interesting about the word "luxury" in that context... and there is also a mail about OPEN SOURCE, james writing, hi james, i feel fascinated with all the oportunities of open source and i would demand states to develop their own open source o.s. ... i'm obsessed by deleuze, and i think open source works, as life, as a rhizome. -------- Mensaje original --------

Not that 'new media' are on their way out. What we're talking about here is a ?luxury? problem: in what direction to grow futher. After an initial period in which time and again the question ?what is new media? was raised, we have now moved to a second phase, in which large parts of the population have become familiar with multimedia, cell phones and the Internet. However, new media arts still operates in a self-referential ghetto, dominated by techno-fetishism. In the meanwhile, the world at large has moved from utopian promises about virtual reality and cyberspace to a culture of massive use. Taking this 'democratization' of new technologies in mind, what are the implications of this shift for the 'electronic arts' branch? Should new media artists and their (few) institutions seek collaboration and integration with the museum and gallery art? Should new media remain a seperate category, with its own festivals and exhibition ! s, or be integrated into the broader 'contemporary arts'? Or should we rather further institutionalize the new media discipline? Geert Lovink (NL/AUS) is a media theorist and activist, Internet critic and author of Dark Fiber, Uncanny Networks and My First Recession.
