new media

a consequence of the constitutive function of artistic-illusionary utopias for the inception of new media of illusion is that the media are both a part of the history of culture and of technology.

cultural convergence

the cultural convergence of art, science, and technology provides ample opportunity for artists to challenge the very notion of how art is produced and to call into question its subject matter and its meaning in society.

tele-presence

notions of artificial life
fusion with (infinite) virtual image worlds
transformation of self into digital data

human aspiration(s)

telepresence also combines the contents of three archetypal areas of human aspirations: automation, virtual illusion and metaphysical views of the self.

cybergnosis

what is being preached is the phantasm of union in a global net community, cybergnosis, salvation through technology, disembodied as a post-biological scattering of data that lives forever.

zealot(s)

what we observe are hyperzealots of a new technoreligion running wild, zapping, excerpting and floating in cyberspace.

aesthetics

since the eighteenth century, aesthetic theories have regarded distance as a constitutive element of reflection, self-discovery and the experience of art and nature.

tool(s)

aesthetic distance is no longer tenable when artist are engaging the same systems used in general communications and research
