Response To The Futurist Manifesto

I was honestly concern when we read F.T. Marinetti thoughts during the aftermath of the war. On one hand, I understand why he wanted newer artist to tear down older artist. Back then and today, new artist are afraid to put themselves out there, constantly comparing themselves to the artist that made their mark in history. It also doesn't help that the people who believe they know all about art tend to use old art as golden standards, making it hard for new artists to earn their approval unless they somehow meet the standard in the way the person wants. This can lead to unoriginal art for a long time. It also doesn't make sense to get rid of old art altogether. People sometimes takes inspiration from old art, spinning it into something new. I don't entirely agree with Marinetti's views, but I do agree new and upcoming artists shouldn't be discouraged by the high bar past artist set.

With all his interesting ideas Hito Steryl makes us realize how alive the internet is maybe even more alive than we are. The bad of our world uses the internet to control us more than we control it.

Response to Hito Steyerl

Hito Steyerl Hito Steyerl talks here about a mental or spiritual death that the internet undergoes. In fact, the internet (when introduced in 1983) was this very new and innovative thing, now it is just something mainstream that is part of our daily life. I would say that it lost it's magic. Internet used to be a place to achieve knowledge and was supposed to stay a very practical way of getting informations or communicat. However, it is now a business that is governed by overpowered corporations that abuse it's power in order to make a propaganda use out of it. Is the Internet dead ? No, it did not die, but it lost its life.
