Description
Vanishing Acts explores the relationship between technology and human cognition, examining how seamless interfaces can lead to distracted thinking. Eileen Isagon Skyers argues that network-based art practices offer a critique of our engagement with these technologies.
The author suggests that the imperceptible nature of interface technologies has significant effects on our nervous systems, leading to new urgencies that were previously absent. Net art, which employs retromediation and anachronism, can reveal crucial insights into the changing nature of subjectivity in relation to technology.
