variablization of aesthetic subject in the computer-based media art

Like a random function in Math class in any kind of high level program language, subject in the media art functions as an Math.random() method. Regardless of the numbers of parameter which is passed to the core algorithm or the main OOP model, there are no doubt that the subject, usually participants, in new media art works as a signal emitter. They produce many kinds of signals, and then the computer-based artwork find the desired pattern among the bunches of the signals made by the participants. During this process, the participant works as a function. With this point of view, the computer-based media art is the evolved form of the Turing machine by Alan Turing. Then the artwork itself becomes the continuum of the objects. that can be called as a environment. Or sometimes, we simply name it as an interface. Thought the state of the interface in these day is so primitive, there are no doubt that the artwork is the perceptible execution code. Even the simplest program code run by the simplest type of Turing machine, the purpose of the computer code is to variablize human behavior, or finally, the subject. Like a point of view in the functionalism, or those of the situationist, the most important role of the human subject is his function in his own situation.

뭔가 막 엉키는 느낌이다.

마크 내피어는 회화와 컴퓨터엔지니어링을 공부했고, 데이터 베이스 시스템 디자인과 웹베이스 툴과 관련해서 15년간 근무한 경력이 있다. 1995년 웹의 등장과 함께 디지털 아티스트로 전향했다. 내피어의 작품들은 대개가 소프트웨어 인터페이스의 양상을 띠고 있으며, JavaScript, Java, DHTML등의 언어를 기반으로 한다.
