New media enlarge the potential field for symbolic production, disrupting its boundaries. Many new media pieces are but a designated solution for displaying data, and the artist’s work consists of setting parameters for designing their exhibition - isn't that a form of curating?

Computation as Dynamic Topography [.pdf]
The theoretical tradition that assimilates computer code to text is not truly appropriate for the analysis of audiovisual works within digital media. This paper proposes a concurrent paradigm for the evaluation of computational processes in the production of technical images. In its last part, we analize some coding architectures based on visual or spatial logics, such as esoteric programming languages, data matrixes and especially the dataflow paradigm.

This paper proposes that the broad concept of “internet videos” could be analyzed as a format in itself, characterized not by its specific physical support, but by its particular regime of distribution. This regime operates as a succession of detournements, which take the work out of its original context and re-signify it progressively.
