Re: <nettime> nottime: the end of nettime |
Dear Ted and Felix, Well, I started reading from the most recent and *shocked* replies, and then, I went back to find this long email. Crazy, but, I was just thinking, something I do occasionally - :') (about two days ago) about the fact that nettime STILL has the old, grey email interface and the form of a list....when Mark Zuckerberg and his cohorts have dazzled 9 billion people - like burgers - to "add content" - because its more exciting, hogs up more bandwidth, acts like Reality TV and spreads ad sprawl globally... and I thought, 'hmmm, its kind of a good thing, kind of a relief, kind of wonderful that nettime is still nettime and there are few "content-delivery" expectations, and there are some half way interesting arguments, texts, writings, reviews... This is such a cop out not a confession of radical/unradical ...well, thanks for keeping the list "alive" but please, don't tell us, after running a low tech internet list for almost 20 years, that the reason you are folding is because the Internet is "post" and there are not enough pictures on nettime...I thought low-tech, high-concept was the idea...n5m3...you know? Not "multimedia" to use a 90s term. I thought this was what made nettime cool, not measuring it against snailmail...I thought SLOW MEDIA was good media...and wouldn't some younger people, if you two have gotten tired, to take over some of the list work? I'm sad that there's no merit in the good old list format...as seen by so-called critics of technology... what happens to looking to nettime for something crisp to be said about technology? Huh?
