Artpress 1988 Dossier Examines Technology's Impact on Artistic Production and Communication Aesthetics
In February 1988, Artpress published a theoretical dossier exploring the intersection of technology and artistic practice. The publication examines four fundamental aspects of this relationship. First, it analyzes the connection between art and technique. Second, it considers the position of art within the neotechnical era. Third, the text investigates the transformative effects of new electro-electronic technologies. Finally, the dossier clarifies the concept of a "communication aesthetics." This framework suggests that understanding this aesthetic requires addressing broader, more general questions. The analysis is presented as a structured argument moving from specific technical relationships to wider philosophical implications about art's role in a technologically mediated society.
