 Art & Language - Question 5b

| b.) Or, is the net, with its fundamental norms and technologies, an
art-external institution which makes the reflection of media a necessary
condition for recognizing media-created restrictions in advance of any
possible enquiry into the preconceptions of artistic production or indeed, in
advance of questions as the possible nature of net.art? Doesn't the
discourse of Art & Language anticipate the necessity of investigating the
framing conditions of art in a generalizing, that is to say, non-art-specific
way?
Oder ist das Netz mit den es tragenden Vereinbarungen und Technologien eine nicht auf Kunst spezialisierte Institution, die zuerst eine Medienreflexion erfordert, um medienbedingte Einschränkungen zu erkennen, bevor die Frage relevant werden kann, was als Net.Art konzipierbar ist? Antizipiert der Diskurs von Art & Language nicht diese Notwendigkeit, Fragen nach Rahmenbedingungen in einer generalisierten, nicht auf Kunst spezialisierten Weise zu stellen?

| Well, yes, Conceptual art in general, and Art & Language in particular, has
explored the notion of art's framing conditions. The net operates at present
mostly as a new kind of media. A good analogy is: cognitive science is to
Artificial Intelligence as Art & Language is to the Net.

| Net art could just be another artistic genre, in danger of being pickled in
its technology. The Art & Language project is and was by no means a
generalised geisteswissenschaftlichen enquiry. An enormous remainder is left
by the expert Geisteswissenschaft. Our indexing project was bound to develop
so as to query (and include) the non-cognitive as well as the cognitive
conditions of a discourse. The practice (or discourse or conversation or (?))
was often pursued under conditions such that (possibly) artistic reflexivity
had been forgotten or lost. The question of its return or failure to return
was frequently a matter of indifference to us - but there was always a sense
(a memory) that this had all grown out of the syndicalisation of an
artistically modernist space. This is what we had to do when we tried to
paint and failed - or rather discovered reasons why we shouldn't. Is this
very tenuous mooring sufficient?

| Sequences of in- and exclusions in art criticism, museums and the art market are combined in `the institution of art´. This institutionalization is irrelevant for net.art. The possibilities of transversal (re-)configurations constitute a field of research for adequate uses of the transmedium net. These net-specific configurations change in reverse the strategies of the art market and the art museums, because a serious alternative art public exists now outside of the established frameworks. This alternative leads within the established art context to doubts about remixes of old and well known strategies: Maybe these doubts provoke self-parodizing remixes...("too dark to read")?
Die In- und Exklusionsprozesse, die Rolleninhaber in Bereichen der Kunstkritik, der Museen und des Kunsthandels betreiben, greifen bei Netzkunst nicht. Die Möglichkeiten transversaler (Re-)Konfigurationen konstituieren auf der Suche nach adäquaten Gebrauchsweisen des Transmediums Internet einen Problemkreis, der von Netzkünstlern ausgelotet wird. Diese netzspezifischen Konfigurationen verändern rückwirkend auch Strategien des Kunsthandels und der Kunstmuseen, weil es jetzt eine ernstzunehmende Kunstöffentlichkeit außerhalb der Rahmenbedingungen des Kunstbetriebs gibt. Diese Alternative führt im Kunstbetrieb zu Zweifeln über Neukombinationen alter und nur zu gut bekannter Strategien: Vielleicht provozieren diese Zweifel sich selbst parodierende Remixes...("too dark to read")?
