Jaron Lanier: You Are Not a Gadget: A Manifesto (2010)

“Jaron Lanier, a Silicon Valley visionary since the 1980s, was among the first to predict the revolutionary changes the World Wide Web would bring to commerce and culture. Now, in his first book, written more than two decades after the web was created, Lanier offers this provocative and cautionary look at the way it is transforming our lives for better and for worse.
The current design and function of the web have become so familiar that it is easy to forget that they grew out of programming decisions made decades ago. The web’s first designers made crucial choices (such as making one’s presence anonymous) that have had enormous—and often unintended—consequences. What’s more, these designs quickly became “locked in,” a permanent part of the web’s very structure.
Lanier discusses the technical and cultural problems that can grow out of poorly considered digital design and warns that our financial markets and sites like Wikipedia, Facebook, and Twitter are elevating the “wisdom” of mobs and computer algorithms over the intelligence and judgment of individuals.”

Nilo Casares: Del Net.Art al Web-Art 2.0 (2009) [Spanish]
Filed under book | Tags: · internet art, net art, web 2.0, web art
Nilo Casares, escritor, comisario crítico de arte y promotor de arte digital y arte público. “Lo que sigue recoge una conferencia dictada en varias ocasiones sobre el arte digital (sin pretender alcanzar la altura del “Walking” de Henry David Thoureau, incluso la he dictado en modo ‘abducción digital’ bajo un ambiente construido por el artista Francis Naranjo para mi tortura y desaparición en escena) que espero seguir paseando por ahí.
A ella siguen artículos publicados en distintos periódicos, desde que la prensa habitual recoge las cosas que pasan con el net.art (algo sobre cuya existencia mi torpeza sólo consigue llamar su atención en el tardío 1999). A través de los artículos se pueden seguir los intereses que aparecen entre los net.artistas de hoy y cómo sus obras se encaminan hacia dos lugares. Primero, el reencuentro con la físicidad, en una reversión de la sentencia que alumbró la Web 1.0, recogida por el lema de los átomos a los bits de Nicholas Negroponte, y que hoy es una mezcla de átomos y bits que refleja mejor la realidad de las cosas. Después, los resultados facilitados por la actual Red Social para imbricar las obras en un contexto más amplío que el estrecho club del net.art de los noventa.
A veces los enlaces apuntados están muertos o alguna obra ya no existe, lo que resalta la elevadísima mortandad del arte digital destacada en la conferencia que inicia este libra Sin otro ánimo que el no aburrir, sálveme el lector de cualquier pretensión de originalidad, que lo dicho por mí seguro ya fue enunciado por otros.
