dc.description.abstract | Biotechnology delineates today's framework of reflection on technoculture in a time of postdigital
and postnetwork society, while decline of the cognitive capacity of the new media categories
requires a search for other concepts enabling a description and interpretation of the condition
of contemporary technoculture and its artistic manifestations.
This process revolves around and is fuelled by various strategies of media hybridization,
through which the media hybrids have become prevalent artifacts, both material and non-material,
or, objects manufactured in the cultural production, but also conceptual vehicles serving
a description of the phenomena of contemorary culture dominated by objects and technological
discourses. Hybridity today is one of the crucial categories, around which I attempt
to develop my own interpretation of technoculture in the postdigital era. In doing so, I do not
adopt the approach of technological determinism, which viewed the process of emancipation
of technology in dark tones.
I depart on a journey around this world outlining numerous dilemmas concerning the place
of art and artists in a continually changing context implied by bio-techno-logical reality. This
reality is shaped by the increasingly significant, not to say dominant, tendencies, which are conceptualized
in the post-humanist and trans-humanist way of thinking.
New media artists use the instrumentation of contemporary technology and, referring to
scientific developments, they unceasingly experiment, using new tools of creation for the interpretation
of technocultural reality. The triad: art – technology – science along with another
triad: art – new media art – post media art are landmarks for my research explorations into
major artistic and cultural processes within the practices and theoretical discourses of the
media world.
"After media" and by means of postmedia, a contemporary face of postdigitalism is developing,
in which deep remix becomes one of the fundamental practices of contemporary atists
and of each participant in the cybercultural world. The universum of technoculture is processing,
very frequently critically and outright, the commonly held to date opinions and judgements
of the digital revolution and mediatized reality. The working of the new media, or, in better
terms, our work with the new (post)media is an example of unending work in progress. This is
discussed in the third part of the book, which presents various artistic strategies of eminent
new media artists. These strategies show that it is possible to pursue different ways of artistic
creation without abandoning scholarly, cognitive, research and philosophical ambitions. Ken
Goldberg, Stelarc, Christa Sommerer and Laurent Mignonneau, Ryoji Ikeda and many artists
whom I present in the last chapter devoted to hybrid art, represent different tendencies and
movements in media art, but, at the same time, they are only a departure point for deliberations
reaching far beyond their artworks. I am considering the status of new media art, technoart
and hybrid art, which, possibly, should be regarded as the most symptomatic manifestation
of transformations within media art, although crossing the boundaries of the genre, type
(analogue vs. digital, traditional vs. new media) and transmediality are its defining features.
These artists (the ones discussed in detail in extensive chapters devoted to their work, and
the ones discussed only briefly) are well-known to anyone interested in media art issues. However,
quite symptomatically, none of them has ever won as much acclaim in the, broadly understood,
art world as artists pursuing traditional art forms including painting, sculpture and
even architecture. Why? Because, say, despite the ubiquity of the new digital media in social
space and communication, the new media art still constitutes the margin of contemporary art. In a way, in this book, I myself attempt at re-evaluation, or rather, greater recognition of the
contemporary art making use of the cutting-edge media technologies. Their distinctive feature at
present is being dominated by hybrids, hybridity and hybridization processes, yet, in fact, I mean
something more than that. I attempt at taking a view at contemporary technoculture through
the works of contemporary artists who are treated marginally and as a ballast of technological
transformations, whereas, in fact, they are the true avantguarde of the civilizational and cultural
transformations of the contemporary world. | pl_PL |
