Beyond pessimism/optimism dichotomy, March 15, 2009
This review is from: Zero Comments: Blogging and Critical Internet Culture (Paperback)
Geert Lovink's Zero Comments deals with real situaions on recent ICT and network culture including new media art after 90's euphoria phase.
The situations are not so good, rather bad which we cannot avoid thinking of them with nihilistic feeling.
Describing and reporting various details on such real and difficult situations,
Lovink invites us to recognize things as they are and to go further for our freedom interwoven with digital network technology.
In the age of actual globalization which is full of neoliberal ways of thinking,
I recommend this rare intelligence on ICT after development for all people who seek independent free cooperations with digital media in the true sense.
Now is the time to think actively on digital media culture beyond pessimism/optimism dichotomy in the real meaning.
