Re: [Yasmin_discussions] moderation this week

Hi Roc and Yasminers,

I think perhaps you may find interesting these links about New Aesthetic:

http://www.aaronland.info/weblog/2012/03/13/godhelpus/#sxaesthetic

http://new-aesthetic.tumblr.com/

http://www.wired.com/beyond_the_beyond/2012/04/an-essay-on-the-new-aesthetic/#comments

(An interesting discussion about the topic has just started at CRUMB list.)

Also you may want to have a look at this book review by Rob Myers about the
glitch aesthetics (in the sense of "glitch" as noise, thus "uncontrolled")

http://www.furtherfield.org/features/reviews/glitch-momentum

I would be glad to know your opinions.


Best wishes,

(Ps. I am quite a silent but a dedicated reader in the list.)

susanna.
