Is there any information in
the
universe which is free of sense?
The era of classical media artist (and inventor) who is working alone, on own systems, was gone. The unique and independent artwork, was suddenly outdated. Intellectual thinking for artists was changing. So, what is to do? It seems that the descriptions of mediaart and all utopias of the eighties was created from a other generation. A interactive, interdisciplinary and a distributed thing was born with the Internet. The thing. One of the last classical media art work was created by Wolfgang Staehle, Helmut Mark, Max Kossatz... titled: the thing.net. Another artwork in Austria was the Electronic Gallery from Kunstlabor. With progression technology of information, was a possibility to combine all of this things, (the utopias of the eighties: interactive, interdisciplinary and distributed working) are compressed in digital layers. In the early years of programming home computers and before layer technology was no "opensource" programming. Artists could work with digital technology in classical art context, but he was in a dependency of a company. The solution for people, who cared for more independent thinking, freedom and creativity was an open-source system called: Linux. But classical artists and the art market had a problem with this, because the parameters of copyright was changing. In this period you can see a generational change in computer technology as well as in media art. "Net Art" (what ever this is), redeemed "Media Art"
It seems everything was fine, but something was and is more wrong with relations between the things media, net, information and art.
Classical art as well as media art can have a content free of sense. But in
the "World of Information" is no place for things with free of sense. Free of
sense do not mean senseless things.
In the history of technical
research,
art or other sources of senseless information were not serious and
useful enough to be a part of developments.
Only one idea more: If Information is not only in our head, there is a great possibility that information is everywhere. But where is the storage for this information? Maybe there is something in the universe that is something like a strange matter. The universe starts to expand at the big bang, space-time was born. If also the Information was created at this time, Information cant be in the continuum with this space-time, because space-time is a knowledge of Information. I see a possibility that information goes in the other direction, space-time is expanding and information is in the opposite compressing. And if Information is compressing since the universe is expanding then I think it could be possible that all the live on our Earth comes very compressed from outer space. The evolution is decompressing since this time. Anyway, if we want to work with Information we have to separate two different kinds of Information. With our radio telescope we can receive information hundred of thousand years old, an information free of sense or an information that is not strong compressed.
