I've been reading this thread with extreme interest, but haven't contributed... anyway, Patrick's comment brought up a thought for me as a follow up to Josie's post about power and the general concern about who these classifications/definitions serve. Both Smithson and Bierstadt served similar interests in their representations - the mining industry. So i guess i'm suggesting that the scope of concern expand beyond the insular and minute concerns of avant garde production. New Media as a term is certainly not the exclusive property of the high-cultural sector. ryan On Sep 6, 2004, at 4:00 PM, Automatic digest processor wrote: > Some of you may object to this, and to an extent, so do I.
