Dear Jeremy,luci,Eric,Chris,Annick etc...
i would not imagine that proposing the "TakeOver" discussion would =
become almost a "chat line"!
I cannot keep track of arguments...
The idea of the online stuff it's good.
But maybe we could just insert a special container in the spectre =
website putting together addresses and e-mails on the take over issue.=20
I teach, work and write on new media and problems keep crossing.
Expecially about teaching. And surely i would like a turn-over of ideas.
But i wanted to say a few things on my first intervention.
1) The most visible elements of "take-over" in Linz were: The presence =
of Guggenheim web curator- The spasmodic admiration for Oliviero Toscani =
(The Man who made Money & Culture together!) - The presence of =
pretty/teeny/young/things discovering new ideas for commercialising web =
in the Electro-Lobby-
2) The Guggenheim web/curator made a very obvious move to open to the =
supposed cyber/audience sayng how bad is the art system not to notice =
the very new things happening in the technoart scene.=20
The teen/genious of electrolobby were just themselves: young people =
getting immediately to commercial visibility because of the peculiarity =
of the new/commerce.
Oliviero Toscani represented his own monument.
3) All three exemples do not answer exactly to the solutions technoart =
first thought as original way out from the contradictions between =
creativity and production.=20
4) On the other side the charming marginality of the techno-art scene is =
more and more approached by artists from the contemporary art scene that =
are attracted ( like the bordeline control devices of Paul Garrin) by =
anything that moves: And they shoot on anything.=20
This kind of integration seems to be leading to shapeless integration ( =
videoart is under the same spell) and the password of the art scene =
about the new Media is " Oh, it's just like any other medium...The =
Artist must be free to experience anything....".
I think i remember that new Media had a strong and innovative approach =
to creativity and communication.
Is that all gone?
Ciao
Lorenzo Taiuti
