Issue 13

Online and offline, contemporary art focuses attention on the habits accrued by interfacing with more fragmented and provisional communities reached via the internet and ubiquitous computing rather than the mass audience of televisual media (broadcast television, film) that shaped spectatorship throughout the twentieth century.

Image description: A photograph of a dark exhibition room. In the center of the room there are four wooden stools, arranged in a line from left to right. The second stool from the left is taller than the rest, and on top of it sits a projector, which is projecting a video into the back wall. This video shows a woman, with her back to the viewer, holding up a microphone to a group of six young people. The person speaking is a dark-skinned young man wearing a gray T-shirt. The rest of the group, to his left and right, are other young men and women who all look at him. They are all outdoors, with trees being visible in the background.
