Art Spatial: Space, Conversion, Electromagnetism
A dossier in art press explores 'art of the space age,' defining spatial art not by medium or technology but as a cross-disciplinary practice spanning painting, photography, music, performance, literature, sculpture, and new media. It intersects desire, utopia, knowledge, and disillusionment to rework cosmogony. The dossier links spatial art with media art, particularly tactical media activists who oppose mass media homogenization by democratizing communication tools (Internet, computers, radio, TV, cell phones) and combining short- and long-distance media knowledge.
