An art that does not need to be "unknown".
Slow art.
Blind art.
Unholy art.
"Known" and unpredictable.
No identity-politics.
No exclamation marks.
No didactics.
No predetermined "interactive art".
No cyber-religious art.
No relegation of the big universal project/subject into nets and cyberspaces.
No relegation of responsibilities into the big net that is all process and no critique.
No utopian framing of the art that is to be.
Freedom from expectations.
Cynical, hybrid, intelligent, responsible, beautiful?
What to do with a question like this? Futurology has not yet produced anything useful. The theorist's vision, as a rule, is formed by the measures of the negative - I know what disturbs me now, so my vision is: that what disturbs me should change. No theorist, however, is innocent enough even to dream (least of all in public) of the subversion of actual structures of producing art: the market, battlelines of moral versus aesthetic judgement, the myth of the innovative, the rhetorics of cyber-revolution suggesting automatic disappearance of the subject in the author-free diffusion of pre-established data-processing systems. I do not dream of handing over the whole bag - form, thinking, critique of authorship and power - to processing-processes.
I like Yau Ching´s text on this website (march 27, 2026).
