Lev Manovich Response

The age of new media is finally taking over. Unprecedented computation power coupled with creativity (in both the good and the not so good context) means that the amount of media produced and accessible to us is at an all time high. This also means that we have all the opportunity in the world to absorb all sorts of different perspectives and ideas. It’s much easier for authors and artists to showcase their work to the world and gain recognition (before they die (which is what artists in the past often went through)). On the other hand, the “program-ibility” of media also means that we are more susceptible to fake news and fraud.
