To quote the about page of The New Aesthetic-

Since May 2011 I have been collecting material which points towards new ways of seeing the world, an echo of the society, technology, politics and people that co-produce them.

The New Aesthetic is not a movement, it is not a thing which can be done. It is a series of artefacts of the heterogeneous network, which recognises differences, the gaps in our overlapping but distant realities.

Reading is due August 1, Thursday.

INSTEAD of two reading response questions,

I want you to search through the Tumblr linked

here ( http://new-aesthetic.tumblr.com/ )

and select a post on it that either interests

you visually or conceptually. Link it on

a post to your blog, and write a paragraph

as it why it interested you.

You might choose one that is relevant

to your own artistic practice currently.

Also search! Don't just swipe from

the very front page.
