1. In the article, Bishop says, "While many artists use digital technology, how many really confront the question of what it means to think, see, and filter affect through the digital? How many thematize this, or reflect deeply on how we experience, and are altered by, the digitization of our existance?" (p.2)
Do you agree with this statement? Also, do you agree that contemporary art largely ignores the digital? If so, why do you believe it is so often ignored?
3. What do you believe the 'divide' Bishop is talking about? Is the gap the amount of specialization? Or the alienation of terms? Or the lack of feeling in digital work?
How does this work for digital mediums like code in which it is an 'alien' concept but requires hours of anguish and tons of specialization in order to produce a desired art piece. For those of us working with glitch art or study glitch artists, what are your personal feelings on this 'divide.'
Note: About the one thing I agreed with was her opinion on the current retro fashion for analog media and that no exhibit is 'complete' without something old clunking as background noise. However, I don't believe she finds it beautiful like I do.
