Quote:
1. Lev Manovich,The Language of New Media (First MIF Press paperback edition , 2002), 45.
'The spatial montage of My
boyfriend came back from teh war follows the logic of simultaneity of the
modern GUI... The user of Lialina's site can activate different hyperlinks that
are all simultaneously present. Every action changes either the contents of a
single frame or creates a new frame or frames.'
2. Tribe Mark , New Media
Art, ( Taschen , 2006)
'But
what is it that makes this particular work so influential? Perhaps it resonates
with other artists because it is among the earliest works of New Media art to
produce the kind of compelling and emotionally powerful experience that we have
come to expect from older, more established media, particularly film.'

Helen, some nice work on your blog overall! your discussion of the above work has room for improvement though, and if you make these improvements it will help ALL your work as these comments apply to the other entries on your blog too. When you give details of the work, be REALLY detailed--don't forget the basics: what kind of work is it? How do you interest with/use it? What kind of software is used? etc etc Follow this principle for everything --assume your reader knows nothing about the work or the topic --be clear and detailed enough so that after they read or hear your presentation they will feel they really understand. The choice of quotes is good. Can you explain in your own words more about what they mean? Do you agree? When you talk about the work and why it is noteworthy, is there anything more you want to say, that when YOU think about the work strikes you personally as very important? Can you explain that and back it up with evidence, extra details? Good luck with this!
