                                                                Le texte français se trouve à la suite de l'anglais.


>The screen has defined a new window and has killed the camera obscura. The screen is not reflecting and difracting the light like pigment but is generating electronic light.

hence technically originating in church windows rather than painting.

cf. also isaac newton _ prismatic color spectrum _ aprox.1666


>So today how to paint something ?

nobody forces you dear


>The skill doesn't matter.

brain.wash


skill = matters as much for (a) painter as for (a) web.konstruktor
   
        (+


>The main topic is to paint something that nobody painted before you (Miltos Manetas (1)).

Nobody is to paint something before you painted that main topic. (Miltos Manetas (2)).
The paint is something before you main nobody painted that topic. (Njmupt Nbofubt (3)).
Something painted The main topic before you. Nobody is to paint that. (Oknvqu Ocpgvcu (7)).

 brain.wash + poor formulation
                                              

>a huge market where we cannot find any TAZ (Hakim Bey (2)) like on 1994

principle of the TAZ is that it is moving - u have to move faster


>Like Vuk Cosik (the father of net art) is saying, NET ART IS DEAD ! (4) it is dead because the context where net art was produced doesn't exist anymore...

 1)  net.art.golden-age/mystification/ => 7-bit.-pathos


 2a) what context r u talking about - political (9/11)? odr economical (1998 stock x.change crash)? odr teknological (netscape6)?
       

 2b) - conclusion = it proves unhealthy to rely too much on a given context.

                        (( or a given operating system ))


 3) some ppl however seem not to care if it's DEAD (cf. p.ex. runme.org )


>But on the other I still think that some art form would and will be produced in interactions with Internet, but we cannot call it 'net art' anymore ! I do and I will also...

ahhh - understand. terminology.     btw - u forget the [.]dot


>But at the same time I decided to jump into the most 'prestigious', 'serious', 'outdated' and 'unpolitically correct' media on an ironical way:

   01 hyp0thesis = suppose that e.xactly that prevalent "ironical" approach lead to the premature death of netz.kunzt. ..
      - irony = not very healthy attitude for a young artform.
        cf. early film= melies/chaplin_1914. brave enough to be brilliantly naive (+ skillful).
        same period= dada _ essentially ironical - lifespan= 1914-1921 (still 1bit longer than net.art-+1bit more skillful)


>I would say that the internet screen are little bit like landscape and still life.

"On TV you can't show landscapes. You just can't. Even a postcard is better. [Landscapes] are too close to painting. And TV has nothing to do with painting. It's just transmission. And you can't transmit a landscape, happily enough." (j-L.godard)


enough for now



good luck
