the problem i have is that "media art" doesn't really mean anything. all
art forms use one or more media therefore what art isn't "media" art?

Hi marc, (and anyone else who might wish to express an opinion (((and
care bear reading mine ;))) )

i've read your interview, and cory arcangel's and am just curious to
ask this:

which term do you prefer?

?? Media Art ?? Internet Art ??

personally i feel negative toward "Media Art". it takes me back to when
i wanted only to be a painter and the other things i do
(audio+programming/etc) i considered entirely seperate (or atleast: not
art).

infact i can't seem to shake the feeling of negativity toward "Media
Art". and it reminds me of when i used to get all upset that "Modern
Painters" showed stuff like video art :D

so i like the term internet art. to me it is more inclusive, it's in a
similar orbit with open source etc.

{ "Internet Art" == warm, "Media Art" == cold }

regards,
james.
