Description
The paradoxes of art in the digital age. In "In the Flow", Boris Groys explores how the tension between preserving art's significance and embracing new technologies has shaped the development of contemporary art. Groys argues that the techniques of mechanical reproduction, which once gave us objects without aura, have been replaced by digital production, which generates aura without objects. This transformation has led to a reevaluation of what it means for art to be preserved and experienced in the age of the Internet. Through his analysis, Groys charts the complex relationships between art, technology, and perception, offering insights into the nature of artistic practice and its place in the digital world.
