Abstract

This article starts with the question, whether different epistemological and practical objectives in art and technology are responsible for the problems which can be observed in present Media-art. Therefore, we first demonstrate some traditional objectives of art, especially the position of the so-called Frankfurt-School, according to which art is diametrically opposed to technological attitudes and claims since art has to express alternative ways of perceiving and interpreting the world. In contrast to this, we argue that techniques and technological states always have influenced the creative act. By demonstrating this effect in contemporary music, we describe some of the problems which arise when artists use computers and, furthermore, we put for discussion some ideas which may lead to a more creative use of these systems.
