//a: historical
“To be sure, sociologists and several conceptual artists such as Victor Burgin and Hans Haacke have shown that pervasive
philanthropy and museum controlled ” taste making” do exert long term political control over the artistic tastes of the public. But
given the costs and popular failure of technological art, it would appear an enormously inefficient means of swaying the masses, much less a means of promoting Technocracy as a successor to
Capitalism.”
Burnham J, Art and Technology: The Panacea That Failed, from The Myths of Information
(p211), Woodward K (ed), Routledge and Kegan Paul Ltd, London, 1980
“Cyberspace was supposed to bring us all together in a Global Village; however, what effectively happens is that we are bombarded with the multitude of messages belonging to
inconsistent and incompatible universes — instead of the Global Village, the big Other, we get the multitude of "small others," of
tribal particular identifications at our choice. “

“The artist is not responsible to anyone. His social role is asocial; his only responsibility consists in an attitude to the work he does. There is no communication with any public whatsoever. The artist
can ask no question, and he makes no statement; he offers no information, and his work cannot be used. It is the end product
which counts, in my case, the picture.”
