RE: <nettime> low-tech media projects |
Ledia wrote: I am wondering what kind answers there are to this. What low tech/low tech aesthetic movement is going on where you are? I would be interested in hearing about websites and projects and perspectives you know about that are media related but would fall into the category of "low tech approaches". The idea of a "low-tech movement" is exciting and new to me. Something which comes immediately to mind is 'demo scene' culture. Demos "seemingly do things that aren't possible on the machine they were programmed on." [From <http://www.oldskool.org/demos/explained/>]. Communities of practitioners exist for a range of machines which may or may not be considered 'low-tech' (from Ataris to Pentiums). The focus on extracting the maximum creative use from an obsolete machine rather than lazily using a new machine to do your work for you could be considered a 'low-tech movement' of sorts.
