Overall, This reading kept me thinking "tell me something I don't know. Yes, we continue to think we are at the peak of our technological advancement built upon the bones of our predecessors. the only constant is the stream of information that rushes forward into the future for the next generation to devour.
That has always been true about media and information. I think the biggest change is the rate at which it's taking place. But I don't understand the tries the writer tries to make with art. This article seemed to be more of an analysis of history than a commentary on art in the world. It's possible I could have missed something.
The flow and destruction of media did remind me of this video. The theme in this video takes a wider view and take a more philosophical approach but some of the images poignantly show the fleeting mortality of our machines.
