More difficult questions for the mtaaRR –

Joan Campàs, a professor of digital art and hypertext in the Department of Humanities at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (Barcelona, Spain)is writing a book about the social history of digital art, literature, and music. Joan sent me two questions based on questions posed to artists in the September 1970 by the journal Artforum.

The question are:

1. What is your opinion regarding the political commitment of digital artists in the complex reality of today’s world? What is your position on the type of political activities that digital artists should be undertaking?

2. What social function do you believe digital creation plays—or should play?

So, with some faith in the internet, I pass the question on to anyone who would care to take a stab at it. I will site your name(s) in my reply. permanent link to this post
