Day 1: tech fetishes and the imminent popping of the open internet bubble

Justin Clemens (apologies for the paraphrasing but i think i have the gist right here) "one of the things i don't like about a lot of contemporary online art...is that it is without 'juice'... the technology itself is so libidinalised that you forget in giving other people something [in the form of your art's content] that they need to get some 'juice' out of it as well"

Melinda Rackham (and this is a very loose paraphrase) "we need to remember that we have just lived through what may have been a short lived bubble of the free and open internet. Legislation before parliaments all around the world at the moment could mean that in a very short time this bubble in history will burst and the internet will be a very different and far more controlled thing"
