"Does work premised on a dialogic, prosumer model, seeking real-world impact need to assume representation or an object form in order to be recognized as art?" -- Lev Manovich
I personally don't think so. If art is a person's way of interacting with the world then art is inherently a method of communication -- whether it be dialogic or not. Art that seeks to represent and impact should be more valued, not less. What do you think?
This reading says a side effect of the age of technology is the way we research art is easier than ever before. Because of this, many artists are intentionally approaching their research in a more laborious way and taking a second glance at overlooked and marginalized artists of the past. While I think this is interesting I also think it's a bit overrate when there are artists, even now, who have been overlooked and marginalized. This reading even calls attention to a group of them -- the modern digital artist.
