November 14, 2008 The fine art world has traditionally been a finicky white-gloved environment, replete with security guards, alarms, and velvet-roped stanchions. As electronic, interactive, and experimental art becomes more commonplace and normalized within museum and gallery settings, the audience becomes prey to a complicated set of mixed signals. Add to this artists who often prefer working with non-conventional modes of communication and unexpected encounters, and a heady cocktail of confusion emerges. This talk will address my long intrigue with making art in these evolving environments. Art offers no right or wrong, no specific agenda or even problem set. In fact, it tends toward provocation more than problem solving. Perhaps because of this very open-endedness, I find that new art forms offers tantalizing insights into human behavior, for better or worse. |
