“We postulated that there was at a certain point a close relationship between forms that now exist quite separately from one another, that is, the realms of fine art, experimental film, literature, poetry, music, and technological development as well. What is it supposed to mean that 16mm projectors will soon have found their last luxurious performance site in art institutions, while YouTube represents a contemporary way to watch an interview with Hollis Frampton? Conversely, the gradual absorption of the genre of experimental film into the realm of media art of the 80s and 90s can also be seen as a transformation analogous to general social and media development, going hand in hand with the development of individualization and the consumer society.”
