Hi All,
First, we hit on some good hard issues today, including art versus tool, content wedded to medium, and collectability.
Here are some notes and leads from today:
John Markoff, NY Times West Coast tech reporter, has a new book almost out on the "pre-history" of the computer revolution.
Also, someone may want to check "The History Map" made at the first "Hacker's Conference." Should be easy to find.
Someone wanted to check out Nam June Paik and Takashi Murakami.
And Jodi.org.
And David Rockeby, Canadian digital artist.
"Mail Art" has a quirky little history.
Alex Galloway, NY based artist, doesn't say "art," doesn't say "Alex," and makes open source enabling systems.
Reading: "Film as Art" by Rudolf Arnheim, originally written in 1932, argued that innovation (such as sound on film) is a step backward for aesthetic development.
Keep those entries coming!
