New Aesthetics: Cyber-Aesthetics and Degrees of Autonomy.

By Patrick Lichty

"In perusing Honor Harger’s recent missive on drone aesthetics and James 
Bridle’s ongoing posts of drone images at Dronestagram, taken in context 
with the Glitch un-conference in Chicago, some new questions have come 
to mind. These questions have to do with conceptions of New Aesthetics 
in its various forms in terms of interaction with the program/device and 
its level of autonomy from the user. In my mind, there seems to be a NA 
continuum from generative programs that operate under the strict 
criteria of the programmer to the often-autonomous actions of drones and 
planetary rovers. As you can see, I am still chewing on the idea that 
The New Aesthetic as it seems to be defined, as encompassing all 
semi-autonomous aspects of ‘computer vision’. This includes Glitch, 
Algorism, Drone imagery, satellite photography and face recognition, and 
it’s sometimes a tough nugget to swallow that resonates with me on a 
number of levels." Lichty.
