Quote:
“What unheard-of, hackerly skills will be required for art in tomorrow’s video-broadband Internet: when a so-called web ‘page’ is nothing like a ‘page.’ When video compositors and web-design software can mix, match, and munge a chunk of text, annotations, hotlinks, static images, video snippets, music tracks? And it all comes gushing straight out of the same pipe, a bubbling slumgully of creolized media.” Bruce Sterling Parkett No. 79, 2007
