As accessibility and understanding of electronic media grows, its use by artists becomes more widespread. Yet the art world, both critically and practically, was initially slow to accept this emergence - new technology is potentially alienating and esoteric. Edward A. Shanken gives a lucid evaluation of the subject, contextualizing it in a broader art-historical and political f...(展开全部)

The explosive development of the media in this century has resulted in abstract relations with machines and/or physically removed strangers. This phenomenon characterizes ever-larger areas of work and private life. The more abstract, and removed, information has become from everyday life, the less "real" the experience.

In Media Ecologies, Matthew Fuller asks what happens when media systems interact. Complex objects such as media systems --understood here as processes, or elements in a composition as much as "things" -- have become informational as much as physical, but without losing any of their fundamental materiality.
