Cory Arcangel Book order

Seit ihrer ersten Begegnung verbindet Olia Lialina, eine der bekanntesten Akteurinnen der net. art-Szene der 1990er-Jahre, und Cory Arcangel die Auseinandersetzung mit der Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Internet. Ihr technisches und kulturelles Verständnis des Web, das sich von einer militärischen Kommunikationstechnik weiterentwickelt hat zur „Datenautobahn“ und dem zunehmend asymmetrischen „Content-Bereitstellungssystem“, das es heute darstellt, hat zwei komplexe, in kontinuierlichem Dialog miteinander befindliche Werkgruppen hervorgebracht. „Asymmetrical Response“ zeichnet die Zusammenarbeit beider Künstler nach und beinhaltet Installationsaufnahmen, kritische Textbeiträge und Dokumentationen zu Korrespondenz und Performance. Beinhaltet eine Textbeilage und eine CD.

"Since the turn of the millennium, the Internet has evolved from what was merely a new medium to a true mass medium--with a deeper and wider cultural reach, greater opportunities for distribution and collaboration, and more complex corporate and political realities. Mapping a loosely chronological series of formative arguments, developments, and happenings, Mass Effect provides an essential guide to understanding the dynamic and ongoing relationship between art and new technologies. Mass Effect brings together nearly forty contributions, including newly commissioned essays and reprints, image portfolios, and transcribed discussion panels and lectures that offer insights and reflections from a wide range of artists, curators, art historians, and bloggers. Among the topics examined are the use of commercial platforms for art practice, what art means in an age of increasing surveillance, and questions surrounding such recent concepts as "postinternet." Other contributions analyze and document particular works by the artists of And/Or Gallery, Cory Arcangel, DIS, Cao Fei, the Radical Software Group, and others." -- Publisher's description
