  • A System of Formal Notation for Scoring Works of Digital and Variable Media Art Richard Rinehart University of California, Berke
    A System of Formal Notation for Scoring Works of Digital and Variable Media Art Richard Rinehart University of California, Berkeley Abstract This paper proposes a new approach to conceptualizing digital and media art forms. This theoretical approach will be explored through issues raised in the process of creating a formal declarative model for digital and media art. This methodology of implementing theory as a way of exploring and testing it is intended to mirror the practices of both art making and computer processing. In these practices, higher-level meanings are manifested at lower levels of argument, symbolization, or concretization so that they can be manipulated and engaged, resulting in a new understanding of a theory or the formulation of new higher-level meaning. This practice is inherently interactive and cyclical. Similarly, this paper is informed by previous work and ideas in this area, and is intended to inform and serve as a vehicle for ongoing exchange around media art. The approach presented and explored here is intended to inform a better understanding of media art forms and to provide the lower level 'hooks' that support the creation, use and preservation of media art. In order to accomplish both of those goals, media art works will not be treated here as isolated and idealized entities, but rather as entities in the complex environment of the real world where they encounter various agents, life-cycle events, and practical concerns. This paper defines the Media Art Notation System and provides implementation examples in the appendices. 1 Digital / Media Art and the Need for a Formal Notation System Digital and media art forms include Internet art, software art, computer-mediated installations, as well as other non-traditional art forms such as conceptual art, installation art, performance art, and video.

  • Text of Interview with Jon Ippolito
    Smithsonian Institution Time-Based and Digital Art Working Group: Interview Project Interview with Jon Ippolito Jon Ippolito is the co-founder of the Still Water Lab and Digital Curation program at the University of Maine and an Associate Professor of New Media at the University of Maine. He was formerly Associate Curator of Media Arts at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. June 25, 2013 Interviewers: Crystal Sanchez and Claire Eckert I was a curator at the Guggenheim in the 1990s and 2000s, starting in 1991. At the same time I was an artist. As an artist, I had become interested in the internet, largely because of its egalitarian structure, compared to the mainstream art world. I was trying to conceive of works that would avoid technical obsolescence by being variable from the get-go. At the same time that my collaborators and I were imagining ways that a work could skip from one medium to another, like a stone skips across the surface of a lake, I started to see warning flags about all the works—especially media works—that were about to expire. Films would be exploding in canisters. Video formats from the 1980s were becoming obsolete. Conceptual artists from the 1970s were dying. Newer formats like internet protocols from only a few months before were falling apart. It was like the statute of limitations ran out on everything at the same time, around the late 1990s or 2000. In thinking through some of the problems associated with the death of prominent websites, I began to ask whether we could apply the pro-active solution of variable media retroactively to the problem of rescuing these near-dead art works.

Paik’s works demonstrate that it is essential to temper aesthetics with ethics in order to question the utopian dreams of the very materials electronic artists work with. Paik’s works also suggest a new way to think about the machine in art.
