New Media Art
Reference: New Media Art by Mark Tribe and Reena Jana, edit by UTA Grosenick published by TASCHEN
p.6: Jodi.org> Internet: a new art medium. ..New media art: concerned with cultural, political and aesthetic possibilities of these tools. The term broadly adopt in 1994.
p.7: New Media art: by deploying technologies for critical or experimental proposes. It can be seen as a response to the information technology revolution and the digitization of cultural forms.
Relation between new media art and dada: the techniques such as readymade object, photomontage, collage…
Relation between new media art and pop art: popular culture –> engaged with commercial culture. Images can be easily reproduced from advertisement, magazine…etc. For internet, images from the net can be used as a creative source. For this point, I think of the artwork from Google (Digital art @ Google Data Poetics: http://www.chelseaartmuseum.org/digitalartatgoogle/) Especially the work: Thomson & Craighead, Google Tea Towels, 2002.
p.16: Hacker attitude, according to computer scientist Brian Harvey: “someone who lives and breathes computers, who knows all about computers, who can get a computer to do anything. Equally important…is the hacker’s attitude, Computer programming must be a hobby, something done for fun, not out of a sense of duty or for the money… A hacker is an aesthete.”
In 2004 -> “A hacker Manifesto” by Mckenzie Wark extends the notion of hacking: See here: http://www.siusoon.com/dat/2008/11/06/re-hacker-manifesto-20-2001/
