Bishop’s idea of the Digital Divide resonated with me well because of how agreeably it appropriated with the contemporary world. She brings up two very specific ideas that were a reflection of artists’ work such as Frances Stark and Thomas Hirschhorn. First, she says “Each suggests the endlessly disposable, rapidly mutable ephemera of the virtual […]

Hamza Interview
1. Artist Hamza used a first person, handheld camera technique to evoke realism and spontaneity. I see you using a documentarystyle technique. Why and how does that function in your work?

Comment on Adrielle’s Project 2
Adrielle’s video has a subtle aesthetic that connects a standard in traditional visual art to her topic: time. Her topic (the subway) connects to time because it deals with transportation.

Response to the conversation between Hito Steryl and Daniel Rourke
“One of the biggest misunderstandings about digital information is that it is replicated identically, without loss or transformation. But anyone who works with such information knows that digital practice is constituted – like perhaps any technology – by malfunction. One has to constantly convert information in order to work with it across different platforms and […]
