I found a lot of interesting points while reading “Artifacts: A Conversation Between Hito Streyerl and Daniel Rourke”. “Today the majority image production, dissemination, and commentary takes places online…the best place to go to grapple with the digital condition not the art gallery, but tumblr, youtube and even 4 chan.” “If artists do not expose themselves to the workflow and economies that come with contemporary means of production, they become souvenir peddlers.” I really could see who these two quotes connect. In the first one he’s obviously saying that people are not into galleries anymore, it’s better just to go and create something online, which is of course easier and from the other quote as I understood he’s saying that since everything now is digital, an artist that is not working in the same direction becomes “useless”? It really made me feel some type of way. One: I really do not think that since everything is digital now we are losing that sense of going out there and enjoying the galleries; we still can do it. And if an artist is old fashioned he still can create whatever it is was like back in the day. I think that Daniel Rourke just made the situation with art today seem so horrible when it is really not, it just expended which is good because now we can create more, our minds can go beyond it could ever go. Me personally I really like glitch art , I like how an artist can put so many different images together and create this one piece that look just so well. Glutting is the great “ability to mutate and produce unpredictable results”. And another very interesting thing that I came across ” New media are brought into the world through contemporary social conflicts by the midwifes of violence, boredom, perpetual distraction” I think I can agree with that statement; for example 4chan, a person that is busy with her life will not go on 4chan so my conclusion is that only bored people go there for an entertainment; people also express a lot of political issues through new media.
