"Poetry & fiction have been replaced by "the text" & the practice of any art has enlarged to intimacy with all arts, with an investigation into the culture beneath the culture. Because information & ideas are bombarding our sphere so rapidly the procedure of invention & experimentation is simultaneous with instant printing, rapid communication & the chameleon quality of the artist. More appropriate terms for the new art may be velocity, impact, shifting, compounding etc rather than "this is a good poem, that's a bad painting." Perhaps utility & pleasure are closer specifics. The sensations received & their usefulness completely bypass the critical faculty until they become more than an unconscious reaction. From the standpoint of information, there is no reason to maintain formal separation between different media. In the dreamtime of synaesthesia, a world rife with critical dyslexia, an equilibrium of signal & noise are the map of a world vastly different than the aesthetic fortress constructed by 20th century academia. A hypercultural environment is not described by virtuosity & hierarchy. In an info intensive world, such specialization is clearly not culturally sustainable. Imagination & activity are organized by their appearance & their velocity, by the way that they resonate within the event of media. One no longer resorts to identifying themselves as a poet or a painter since the processes of creation endlessly resort to all available resources."
