WHEREAS
I have made two postings of the question set out below and,
WHEREAS
I have not received a single response from those reading Rhizome Raw and,
WHEREAS
Rhizome Raw is representative of those involved in the new media,
I HEREBY reach the conclusion that no critical writing, i.e., "judgments and
recommendations in accordance with articulated standards," is being done in the
area of new media art.
The Question Set Out Below:
Can anyone recommend critical writing in the field of new media art?
I mean criticism in the sense of judgments and recommendations in accordance
with articulated standards - like movie or theater critics or like some
critics in the areas of painting and sculpture.
Or, second best, critical writings from the standpoint of theory and
philosophy about what new media art should be and what qualities or
standards might be used to distinguish the wheat from the chaff?

here is another, more accurate, conclusion: NOONE FELT LIKE REPLYING TO YOU
try "The Language of Newmedia" by Lev Manovich … its more history, theory
and philosophy but i loved it. he's a very smart guy.

dude, i was just giving you shit because your conclusion was ridiculous.
personally, i also get frustrated at the lack of replies to my posts. at
the lack of critiques regarding my project. sometimes i think its because
there is so much to see on rhizome. its nearly impossible to keep up.
apologies. no hard feelings.
