Constructed Life: Scenarios of Fiction
among computer games, cyber-sex, nanobytes and robotic arts
One impact of global medias on culture and economy, on politics and
society is the progressive substitution of the mechanisms of the social
construction of reality by the mechanisms of the media construction of
reality. The media are not only fields of action but also the
constructors of prescriptions for the action. «How to make things with
media»: thatís the performative turn of media society.
>From laptop-music to the standardized entertainments industry, from the
computer game to genetic engineering, from the daily «chat» in the
Internet to the use of intelligent tools, we see the increase of
constructibility and artificiality. Whether in business and in
correspondence, whether in leisure time or in private relationships ?
for their organization we use the virtual data space.
This year the \\international\media\art\award wants to know from artists
all over the world: How do you see the «Constructed Life»? What is your
vision of our future? Where are the chances and dangers of this
development?
- Peter Weibel -
