Re: re-best work with Flash? [plural and singular oif the arts]

Is it? I thought that beyond the machines we could find someone. This
discussion about the essence of the medium is always betrayed by the
confusion between the flesh of the medium and its real essence. And,
albeit any incorporeous condition of information, that's still flesh,
at least in the sense that the paint over a canvas is also flesh, or
the luminescence of the cathodic tubes, or the plasma of a more
recent monitor.
Did you read the text "A Voyage On The North Sea": Art In The Age of
the Post-Medium Condition, by Rosalind Krauss?

The problems of net.art, digital art or whatever are no so different,
and even less opposed, to the ontological question that put together
(and apart) art and technic. Is it possible to speak of about a
plural of the arts without its singular? And is it possible to
sustain the singularity of each art without its plural?
