Not as an official question but as a very unofficial one, "Did anyone else love the reference to Matthew Barney and if so did anyone else start to listen to Bjork immediately after reading the first paragraph of the chapter?" because that is exactly what I did.
Anyway down to the questions:
1. Does the creation of the interface and therefore the connection that the human-computer interface has to the "information" society vs. the "industrial" society by combinding "work" and "leisure" applications in one space lead to a greater divide between these two groups of society?
2. If the content an artist has created within a certain interface is then filtered through a different interface does the content retain it's value as art? If not does this therefore diminsh the validity of the piece as a work of art?
