или снова о New Aesthetic[1] — например:
One of the core themes of the New Aesthetic has been our collaboration with technology, whether that’s bots, digital cameras or satellites (and whether that collaboration is conscious or unconscious), and a useful visual shorthand for that collaboration has been glitchy and pixelated imagery, a way of seeing that seems to reveal a blurring between “the real” and “the digital”, the physical and the virtual, the human and the machine. It should also be clear that this ‘look’ is a metaphor for understanding and communicating the experience of a world in which the New Aesthetic is increasingly pervasive.
эта стирающаяся грань — она заставляет нас видеть мир иначе, обретать новые связи: что будет, если мы соединим то, что не соединялось раньше? как сказал Грег Боренштейн:
New Aesthetic is actually striving towards a fundamentally new way of imagining the relations between things in the world.
это ли не кипричи и раствор, которыми мы будем строить наши здания?
Because a line has been crossed, technology/software/code is in and of the world and there’s no getting out of it. Some architects can look at a building and tell you which version of autodesk was used to create it. The world is defined by our visualisations of it.
именно, словно раньше холст и масло, сегодня другие краски описывают наше бытие — это и есть новая эстетика: то, как поглощает нас всепроникающая технология:
Yes, GPS will come storming out of the wilderness survival gear catalogue and give your mother an incredibly increased action radius. Yes, computer GUI elements will sprout legs and appear lounging around your neighborhood as though they had always been there. Yes, digital glitch is as much of a cultural artifact as the graininess of film or the bad colors of Polaroids. And that guy on the corner with the World of Warcraft battleaxe replica 1 instantly looks at home from the moment that he appears. Yes, you think, now that I see it, it makes perfect sense.
