Post Media Aesthetics

Oh my goodness! I think I will move to the South of France a lot sooner then I have dreamed about - or are things moving along there as rapidly as here? This article was quite abstract and therefore a lot to assimilate. It addresses the categorization of art in many forms and also the impact of software. Of course by using different software we will get different results and companies will market their product to get the best sales results. Just as textbooks influence what we are reading about, so does software, so need to be previewed before we use them - not only to be sure they are appropriate but also to see if they address the goal we are trying to accomplish. I am not sure if I consider any tech as an art form, do you think email is a work of art? I do think that people spend a lot of time on tech stuff -time that can be spent doing something more active, but it pulls you in - I know I am compelled to check my email and the inbox on my cell. There is so much info being tossed around in this article - but philosophically speaking, we see and therefore judge things individually - if I consider one thing to be a form of art and another thing not to be, on a computer or in a museum, then each is valid.
