Postmodern Thinking

This article unveils an aesthetic based on the intervention of machinery into creative art procedures. The study goes deeply into a machine-related aesthetic from philosophic reflections, which range from the incursions of, firstly, optical technologies (photography, cinematography) and then electronic technologies (videograph, computer graphics, networks). The research throws new light on the notion of Media Art. The media have opened up to artists the possibilities of the laboratory for aesthetic experimentation and the innovative inter-relationship of art, science, and technology.  In this sense, the text demonstrates how new media creativity experiments with forms more representative of postmodern thinking.  For the purposes of a better exemplification of the question raised, this article has briefly analysed the works of two Spanish artists, representative of the two different phases. The first example opens with the commencement of an incipient Media Art in the technological and mystical ruminations of José Val del Omar. In the second example, the contemporary evolution into internet experimentation of Antoni Muntadas is demonstrated. Este artículo descubre una estética basada en la intervención de las máquinas en los procedimientos creativos del arte. El estudio profundiza en una estética del maquinismo desde la reflexión filosófica, que abarca desde la incursión de las tecnologías ópticas (fotografía, cinematografía) a las tecnologías electrónicas (videografía, computer graphics, redes). La investigación aporta nuevas luces sobre la noción del Media Art. Los medios han abierto a los artistas las posibilidades del laboratorio de experimentación estética entre arte, ciencia e innovación tecnológica. En este sentido, el texto demuestra como la nueva creatividad mediática ensaya formas más representativas del pensamiento posmoderno. Para una mejor ejemplaridad de la cuestión planteada, el artículo ha analizado brevemente las obras de dos artistas españoles representativos de momentos distintos. En el primer ejemplo, se expone el comienzo de un incipiente Arte de Medios en la cavilaciones tecnológicas y místicas de José Val del Omar. En el segundo ejemplo, se muestra  la evolución contemporánea en el ensayo con Internet de Antoni Muntadas.

The Relationship

AbstractThis article considers the relationship of international law and the media through the prism of human rights. In the first section the international regulation of the media is examined and visions of good, bad, and new media emerge. In the second section, the enquiry is reversed and the article explores the ways in which the media is shaping international legal forms and processes in the field of human rights. This is termed the ‘mediatization of international law’. Yet despite hopes for new media and the Internet to transform international law, the theoretical work of Jodi Dean warns of the danger to democracy of commodification through the spread of ‘communicative capitalism’.

The Relationship

Abstract This article investigates the relationship between art and technology, pointing the constants of a process of cultural digestion which is mediated by the very sovereign technological environment – the Internet. Relying on the multiplicity and hybridization of the content formats, and also on the user involved interactivity as constructive vector-relationships, new media art and the internet art are natural consequences of the artistic practices of creative appropriation of contemporary technological media. As the complexity of the relationship between art and the technological environment becomes richer than ever, we assist to the creation of a contemporary ultra-technological culture, structurally dependent on the media and responsible for relativizing the critical positioning of the art consumer. Defining the premises of the interaction with a technologically interfaced world of art, the user (reader) of the Internet as a medium of expression is – equally – a consumer, and a producer of information (content).

The Grotesque

To create the conceptual space to analyze the evident and structural similarities between the art experience, the (new) media experience, and the media art experience, the author approaches the “medium” as “techniques” which “make [the seen] strange.” A disruption of the perceptual process, a destabilization of the cognitive routines, a sudden sensitivity to the medium and an instant emotional response are at the heart of these (art) experiences. The author argues that the (well-studied) experience of the grotesque provides a model for the analysis of these (understudied) medium-sensitive experiences of the “strange” or “unnatural,” for which the grotesque experience is emblematic.

This chapter investigates the transitional period during which early ’80s spatial and media practices developed into the emerging field of new media art in the Netherlands. This part of the book explores how the rhetoric of interactivity initially developed around television, starting with the 1985 media art festival Talking Back to the Media. By the end of the decade and in the first few years of the ’90s, a series of “networked events”— events that utilized nascent internet technology—were staged, establishing a link between former squatters (and their tactics) and the radical leftwing media art platforms, practices, and theory of the ’90s.
