Celeste Olalquiaga describes the postmodern experience as: an individual experiencing a major transformation of perception and consciousness and that the body now exists in a new kind of time and place. Do you agree with what she describes of the new body? What do you think had the greatest affect when undergoing this change?
The author states that the way new knowledge is acquired is through apperception and distraction. Do you agree with this statement?
Walter Benjamin states that “the body becomes more mechanized at the same rate the computer becomes more “friendly”. The boundaries between the spheres of the body and of technology have begun to transgress, overlay, and blur.” Do you think he is right when he describes how the body is further distance from tactility and everything is beginning to blend together? How do you think this blend has affected the art world?
