The article itself was informative and interesting but at times seemed to make sketchy connection between culture and something as simple and overlooked as GUI. Also the connection to Karl Marx's communist was poorly explained and rather unsettling.


My questions are...


1) What determines whether an interface behaves in a hierarchical manner or a hypertext manner, are they languages or merely constructs?


2) Is the medium of a media artist the program used of the code in which the art truly exists (i.e. Dream Weaver vs. HTML)?
