Rather than defining it as a technology or a medium, \u003cem\u003eContemporary Art and the Digitization of Everyday Life\u003c\/em\u003e argues that digitization is a socio-historical process that is contributing to the erosion of democracy and an increase in political inequality, specifically along racial, ethnic, and gender lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTaking a historical approach, Janet Kraynak finds that the seeds of these developments are paradoxically related to the ideology of digital utopianism that emerged in the late 1960s with the rise of a social model of computing. This set of beliefs was furthered by the neo-liberal tech ideology in the 1990s and the popularization of networked computing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result of this ongoing cultural worldview, which dovetails with the principles of progressive artistic strategies of the past, is a critical blindness in art historical discourse that ultimately compromises art’s historically important role in furthering radical democratic aims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470330151148,"sku":"9780520303911","price":123.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780520303911-contemporary-art-and-the-digitization-of-everyday-life.jpg?v=1775216463"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/janet-kraynak.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
