Discours (notes)

"I was not fortunate enough to experience the installation of Bowling Alley in the flesh, so to speak. As I attempt to reconstruct a picture from the Walker's archives, what strikes me immediately is the exalted tone and focus around some of the project's technological components versus what I take to be its driving goals. In part this is because what seems--and often is--relatively simple now, such as installing an ISDN connection, was notoriously difficult in early 1995.(1) But there is also a danger in the insistent identification of the project as "cutting edge," "cyber," "high tech." William Ivey, the new chair of the NEA, likes to warn that if the case for the arts is made too exclusively on the merits of their efficacy, whether in terms of raising test scores for youngsters listening to classical music or the tourism dollars brought in by cultural institutions, what happens when something else comes along that is even better at doing these jobs? If the case for "new media" is based too exclusively on its cutting edge-ness, it may be important, in the future for constructing a historical timeline, but will it continue to matter?" http://www.walkerart.org/archive/1/B37371C77F052FE86164.htm
