there is nowadays a divorce between modern art and postmodern art and truly current art.the art history community and the art community are two different things.
net art is not the same as web development.
despite the presence of monomaniacal search engines which trawl the web and bring up polluted and radioactive garbage which we might pass off as seafood! ,
there are no websites which provide a view into the world of newly released media
like other media theorists, the only known one being marshall mcluhan, i have come up with what could be called an ingenious schema of classification of media. as opposed to mcluhan's spectrum of hot and cold media, i have another spectrum, that of BAD and GOOD media.
i posit that creators, that is, humans with access to the tools of creation, and who put their works into digital form for massive global access, to fight in the global arena for brief visibility or the likely obscurity, impart QUALITY into MEDIA, such that this media is either GOOD or BAD, or PRETTY GOOD or KIND OF BAD or REALLY BAD or NOT GOOD BUT NOT BAD and so on.
creators may be good or bad at certain types of creations, and of course, their creative works may be misunderstood or presented alongside other works which are dissimilar, and so their work may seem outsiderish or amateurish. the domain of not commercially polished programs and media is generally either amateurish or wizardly. this is the second axis of my media spectrum. amateurish or wizardly.
there is also another characteristic of creators, that of quality imparted per time, and a characteristic of media, that of enjoyment units per time. GOOD media has higher quality and might impart more enjoyment units per time if that is what they are going for in that GENRE(2). within MUSIC, different GENRE(2)S are associated with different creator goals which could be providing enjoyment, providing deep futuristic vibes, making dumb aggressive sounds, mimicking a genre of music because yeah that's how dnb // trap // stoner doom metal is supposed to sound, or sounding really stupid (i.e. music for commercials). here, GENRE2 is a signifier for something similar to the concept of genre, but more specific yet possibly unnamed. we can begin to describe a genre2 (the two is silent!) and then we can compare descriptions with others and either reject or accept their descriptive input, to eventually formulate a less nebulous GENRE2. of course the ultimate goal of the normal genre in the age of the internet is to provide a means for people to make their work passively discoverable by association with a keyword. this bolded statement would be that sentence that they repeat in a box on the side of the article if this were in a magazine. this bolded statement is my secondary thesis for my nonacademic thesis/theory entitled VAPORWAVE SUCKS AND YOU GUYS ARE A BUNCH OF SELLOUTS AND BAD DEEJAYS WHO ARE CONFUSING ME BECAUSE YOU AREN'T JAPANESE ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES YOU ARE AND ANYWAYS YOU SHOULDN'T TRY TO PASS OFF BAD DEEJAYING AS TRACKS THAT YOU MADE, NOT EXPLAINING THE SOURCE TRACKS AND PROCESS TO PEOPLE AND PRETENDING YOU ARE AN ACTUAL MUSICIAN AND USING FULL WIDTH CHARACTERS AND KANJI DOESN'T MAKE YOU COOL IT MAKES YOU A PLAGIARIST. ANYWAYS JAPANESE IS A PLAGIARIZED LANGUAGE AND YOU CHEESY AMERICANS LOVE JAPANESE STUFF AND HATE ON CHINA BUT CHINESE IS REALLY A BETTER LANGUAGE ANYWAYS SORRY TO SAY THIS BUT IT'S TRUE NO OFFENSE
what would vannevar bush think of MEMES? would he think that MEMES are ripping off the MEMEX? who cares? when I think MEMEX I think ROLODEX, and when I think ROLODEX, I think ROLEX. the world of academic writing about theoretical information science history is full of people who actually READ LITERATURE. who does this nowadays anyways? if someone has spent much time reading literature and is in the position to be publishing books on a college press, hyping McLuhan and Bush, then that someone probably isn't a relevant player in the ongoing and industriially relevant endeavor which is progressive computing (as opposed to consumptive computing). academic essays bro aims to be like the modern and truthful peoples' alternative to the academia which is obsessed with seeming like academia.
non-scientific academia is a hilarious genre concocted by people who we presume might wear safari hats and look like professor elemental, and which is perpetuated by the great folks who had specced out their lives with PhD's in subjects like "comparative art history of literature where people mention basket weaving with a focus on the surreality of text in modernity across the ages".
