by Marisa Olsen (Contribution by), James Bridle (Contribution by), Robin Peckham (Contribution by)

HAVE YOU SEEN ART THAT FAILS TO DEAL WITH THE MOMENT WE LIVE IN?

Have you seen art that claims to be contemporary, and then on further inspection is anything but? The universal failure of the art world to embrace the real-time aspects of the internet.

Everyone thought that digital and internet based art would be the answer to this problem but these movements failed to captivate an art market that still desires traditional painting - with newer mediums failing to prove their uniqueness.

To better to reflect our modern times it is clear that an innovative bridge has to be created between internet based aesthetics and the traditional media that art collectors crave.
