"We
live in a world of rapidly evolving digital networks,
but within the domain of media theory, which studies
the influence of these cultural forms, the implications
of aesthetical philosophy have been sorely neglected.
Vito Campanelli explores network forms through the
prism of aesthetics and thus presents an open invitation
to transcend the inherent limitations of the current
debate about digital culture.
The web is the medium that stands between the new
media and society and, more than any other, is stimulating
the worldwide dissemination of ideas and behaviour,
framing aesthetic forms and moulding contemporary
culture and society.
Campanelli observes a few important phenomena of
today, such as social networks, peer-to-peer networks
and 'remix culture', and reduces them to their historical
premises, thus laying the foundations for an organic
aesthetic theory of digital media". |
