SO WHAT IS MEDIA ART?
by Trevor Batten / Amsterdam Jan/July/Aug 1996

1. Terminology:

a. Art and Media:

The term "Media Art" is of course a rather silly term. All Art is "media" Art.

However, the current (i.e. permanent) crisis of confusion and decay regarding the meaning and value of Art suggests that dropping the term "Media" allowing a total dissolution into the category "Art" would be a loss of opportunity to revitalize both concept and practice of "Art".
