i think the new vocabulary will be coming out of the practitioners and
viewers and will take some time to develop. Unfortunately at the moment
even some place like the Walker exists in an awareness of art currents
sprinkled with some stars from the 'net-world' which was largely fueled by
commercial interests and concerns - i don't mean to implycommercial in the
sense of being padi but am referring to the current internet era which has
been driven by equipment, software, and marketing flash - there seems to be
no word yet to describe this. My hunch is that that era will twinkle and
fade (as it seems to be doing) and we will see a time of simple and capable
computers (without a lot of flashy tricks) in most if not all households and
artists who use these basic computers, much like the stylus, printing, and
typewriter revolutions. In other words, the computer revolution is still
coming.
