Hi everyone,

hello O:)

Our mistake is, I believe, trying to define art, or cyberart, netart,
whatever and give it a understandable contour, something we can debate and
position ourselves around. The act of defining is the definition itself.

O.liver, i'm curious as 2 y u perceive this act of _d.finition thru the act of d.fining_ as a _mistake_? if u r referring 2 the notion that many net.arts seek to d.termine the nature of this "space" [or .niche. or .creche. or woteva] thru reiterations that limit this burgeoning milieu, then i agree...



There is no netart to define, but millions of definitions making up the
netart process. And because our world makes many things visible, our own
definition clashes against other's, constantly. Like the characters in
Savage Nights, we now live in a freefalling world, where life, death, space,
time and continuity are constantly being challenged. But this challenge is
the actual understanding.

....this, 2, i'd second...the formulation of any m.mergent genre faces that predicated time packet where the historical loading manifests from/in parallel with the creative impetus & the annalist chooses 2 opt 4 the most tangible version/d.finition...i'd also add that this process of _d.finition thru the act of d.fining_ is crucial in terms of d.mark.cation.......
