Avant-Garde as Software
Abstract
Manovich compares the technological revolution of the late 20th century („new media”) with the art revolution of the early 20th century. He argues that discoveries and techniques of the old avant-garde (visual atomism, film montage and new typography) have been utilized and naturalized in the form of software. In his view, the forms today’s media utilize remain unchanged but how these forms can be used changes.
