ArtCast featuring Florian Cramer
For this
ArtCast Barbara sat down with Florian Cramer, media theorist,
Berlin. He makes his texts available on his gopher site, most
recently with a booklet Words
Made Flesh - Code, Culture, Imagination on the poetics and
cultural history of algorithm code art. Cramers timeless statement
"software cannot be understood by code alone. it is a culture!"
stays true. We caught up with Florian recently on "Software
as a poetic speculation" his recent talks in Basels' Plug-in
and in Digitaler Salon Zurich.
Florian Cramer has contributed extentensively to the acceptance of net art, the reception of Net-Literature and now the recognition of code in arts: executable code as art and as mathematical algorhithm. Contributing theory in parellel with community paticipation, since a decade, he has moderated mailinglists (Rohrpost, nettime-unstable) and as a Jury member (Transmediale). With his texts he is an active participant in the emergence and acceptance of net art (Jodi. install.exe) as a Philologist and Professor of Compartative Literature in Berlin.
