  • detect
    emerging aesthetics and computer-based cultural forms specific to information
    society
  • systematic comparison of our own period with the beginning
    of the 20th century when modernist artists created new aesthetics, new forms,
    new representational techniques, and new symbols of industrial society
  • if the shift from modernism to informationalism
  • has been accompanied by a shift from form to information,

  • Avant-garde as Software.” I first show that the 1920s
    avant-garde techniques became transformed into the conventions of modern human-computer
    interface and software, thus functioning as a foundation of post-industrial
    labor
  • challenge before us is to figure out how to employ these tools to create
    new art; in short, how to interface them not to quantified data but to human
    experience, subjectivity and memory
