"The spirit of a time is probably a fact as objective as any fact in natural science, and this spirit brings out certain features of the world which are even independent of time, are in this sense eternal. The artist tries by his work to make these features understandable... The two processes, that of science and that of art, are not very different. Both science and art form in the course of the centuries a human language by which we can speak about the more remote parts of reality."2 Theinteractivenetwork has become the metaphor of our civilisation and its geometry, the geometry of our imagination “…Technology provides tools usually designed for a specific purpose responding to a specific demand. The artist finds other uses for those same tools by making them do things beyond what they were constructed to do photoshop-flash-freehand, photograph tool, cellphone etc, and in doing so, advances the humanistic application of the computer technology. MARCEL DUCHAMPAt the age of 25, he gave up painting with a flourish when his notorious canvas, Nude Descending A Staircase, was violently rejected by the cubists. He went on to produce The Large Glass: The Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors, a huge etching in glass on the theme of frustrated desire, on which he worked for many years and which he never completed. Only after his death in 1968 was it revealed that he had been secretly working on another project right up to his death, Etant Donnees, (Given) a disturbing kind of peep show involving a tableau of a headless nude in a country landscape hidden behind a rural arch and gate-way. |
