Talk:Radio art

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've eliminated this

In the perspective to online broadcasting,"computers replace artists in the execution of performance of the work.” ^[1]

I think this isn't correct. Online broadcasting can be considered broadcasting in a different medium. How can the computer replace the artist just because we are changing media? Is the hertzian transmitter replacing the artist? If it is alleged that the computer is generating content who did program the computer? Who set the piece in motion. Has written it is implied that, in the context, we can all go home and let computers do the art thing. Ricardo Reis 07:32, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Response to edit of:

This example could have used more description - using a project as an example. Computers can be the medium and not the performer, unless intended by the artist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Th0pen (talk • contribs) 17:23, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I edited the following section: Radio Art Experiments and Project Examples 1. Added Jacques Foschia's and Tetsuo Kogawa's full names to the text 2. Deleted the Esther Venrooy part, as neither the text for her, nor her website makes any reference to radio art. 3. Deleted the link to Free Radio Linux which was dead. Changed the text to past tense as the project finished in 2004.

I think the overall entry needs tidying up and includes a lot of unclear quotes and text. Th0pen brings up an interesting question of the connection between radio art and new media art. I hope that more contributors will bring in their knowledge on this issue and on radio art in general. Knut Aufermann (talk) 19:17, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
