Hello,
I am a Ph.D student in art history and am interested in finding out the extent to which new media artists are or are not influenced by Peter Halley's Neo-Geo work. Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated! Please email [email protected].
Thanks very much!

Peter Halley-His Influence?

You know, that's a really good question and I'm not sure that he's
necessarily viewed much as a significant influence. But I'm not
declaring that he isn't. Perhaps a more specific area within the
computer-based arts that would be worth looking at would be computer-
based generative work like you find at http://www.generative.net

Actually, I'd say that the influence was the other way round – and
not necessarily a computer-based influence as such because his work
partly predates the massive adoption of the personal computer. I see
his work as a ironic depiction of a purely rationalistic approach to
post-minimal abstract expressionism, where he uses flow modelling
icons to make his point. I'm a great admirer of Peter Halley ( http://
www.nznl.com/index.php?dag 050421 , and http://www.nznl.com/
index.php?dag 060401 ), but I think his work is much too painterly
and far too much about the art world to be of much interest to
contemporary computer-based art practitioners.

I don't understand this. Can you elaborate?

In other words, it's a somewhat relative question and, for me, a somewhat odd question. “are new media artists influenced by Peter Halley's Neo-Geo work?” His work has more influence on new media art than say a door stop or the work of Longo but not as much as the work of Jodi or any new media artist who is not a painter from the 80s’ And if you are trying to shoehorn Halley’s work, which I am interested in and like, into new media beyond some stray thought like “it’s about circuts, cells or nodes”, then we might want to rethink that question.
Not influenced one bit. Although, constructivists yes. Is Halley?
Exactly
