Reading, reading and more reading... My research has been enlightening and a struggle at times, but with the help of Frederik Lesage, at the LSE, things are starting to become clearer. I have begun to focus on the artist's perspective of technology. Essentially, looking back historically to see how technology has influenced and been an essential part of the process for artists as early as the photograph... Moving forward to the works of Duchamp and finally touching on new media related theory with the writings of Manuell Castells on the Network Society.
I have been in the process of organizing my dissertations outline to highlight the central topics to use in my interview guide. I look forward to actually interviewing working artists and putting my research to use!
I will also be helping Frederik Lesage's with the LSE-MARCEL upcoming symposium on July 7th! It should be an interesting perspective on artists who collaborate with researchers.
More to come as I begin my skype interviews this week!
