This reading I found to be incredibly relatable as my second major focuses so highly on media and the computer as an essence of design and of art. One of the things brought up in this reading was the question of if digital media has gone as far as it could. I think something that I really cant relate to is that people get very overwhelmed with the idea of interactive performances and with using the computer as a mode of creativity as I feel like through the years we have been taught to view the computer as a machine not as a creative outlet. It was interesting to see how Bishop was blunt is describing this divide.
"Acknowledged or not, the research responsibilities afforded by the internet have made themselves felt in other aspects of contemporary art, too."
That sentence to me really embodied what I feel like Claire was trying to get across. We have a responsibility as artists, as people with the skills to explore the facility of the computer, to delve deeper and to create.
