Zusammenfassung
A recent Art Forum essay declares that "every era has its
interface" (Provan 2013). Increasingly, our interfaces are not
those of reference, of screens, veils, partitions and pointers, but
those of function and functionalism: the App. Apps are parceled
action. They are not the icons of yesteryear, as each of them
gives indication of potential far beyond an interface, creating
more than just a pointer to memory lying otherwise dormant
elsewhere. The congealing computing culture of the App
purports bundled possibility, a set of hidden capabilities and
cosmic potentialities released as we launch actors into action.
With this new direction of computing comes a host of aesthetic
and social metaphors derived from the culture it reflects:
continuous churning of data, reconstitution of the network and
the elaboration for digital artists and creators of new ways of
making and imagining. Using examples from contemporary art
and design practice, a platform study (Bogost, Montfort 2000) of
the graphical and software interface of the App will be presented.
The talk will approach Apps through comparative media studies
(Hayles) and media archeology (Parikka 2012) toward
elucidating and differentiating the value of ‘imaginary’
technology projects, their creative and critical capacities, as a
practice-based arts and research method.
