¶ sunday. we are remembering one of the mesiahs, with the simbols of his death.
otherwise we keep preatty much alive. its the music weekend and a good friend has come for a visit. yesterday a talk on net art was waking us up on the late coffee at the lake. swans were there too.
now its afternoon and i am getting myself ready for elektroblef 1.0.

otherwise thinking about the form, the subject provoked by the upcoming exhibition. it will be shame if it wont include digital novelties in the form. digitalised, hygienic aesthetics is definitively one of the new 'formalities' of the recent art history.

on the other hand i am preatty bothered by the venice bienniale. this years arsenale exhibition is in the form of exhibition of exhibitions. there are several curators invited to form one big show. none of them is the curator of new media. this kind of exclusion reminds me on a broken bridge between a.e. modern art practices and contemporary art. i am afraid contemporary art does not want to catch up with new media art.
is this an old story? (17:05)

tano/add :

"I searched for a term that united the diverse ideas I was exploring, and also connected current thinking and culture with earlier generations of thinkers who touched on similar topics. The original usage of "cybernetic", as by Norbert Weiner, was certainly not restricted to digital computers. It was originally meant to suggest a metaphor between marine navigation and a feedback device that governs a mechanical system, such as a thermostat. Weiner certainly recognized and humanely explored the extraordinary reach of this metaphor, one of the most powerful ever expressed. "
