how we built internet culture and why it matters

“whatever you now find weird, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature.” _ brian eno

aesthetics is not only about creating, but experiencing and evaluating, noticing, identifying, sorting, picking and rejecting, making hierarchies, or making relations.
⠀
maybe the 20th century capitalism has finally been conquered by what we call unrealism: a comparatively skill-less genre of art made from arts, for the lolz, just to see what machines can do. if modernism brought the everyday into the studio, ai art brings the studio into the everyday. the demuseumification of the object — its virtual proliferation, its abundance, its reproductivity — smashes the decontextualisation of objects. we are multiple. we contain multitudes.
