iDI is still merely an overblown
personal homepage (hence the copyright violations) and the obligatory
cat photo.
> iDI needed to (at least) present my artwork - and (at best) could serve to contextualize it. > The name 'imploding Digital Inevitable' was conceived before the site was built and is the most formal aspect of the site. iDI is derived from Warhol and Velvet Under-ground's, 'Exploding Plastic Inevitable'. > > >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> > We hope that visitors will refer to iDI as a resource, will have comments and questions, and will contribute relevent links and assets.

> iDI pays homage to my favorite cultural producers...those whose work and life were great inspirations. |

Consumption
indicates a kind of consumption
that does not remain passive but that, in the very act of consuming
a cultural object, produces an interpretation that changes the nature
of the object's content. For example, a particuIarIy playful consumption
of so-called trash cinema (previously scorned as being below the level
of genre films) can transform these films into another kind of entertainment.
In Italy, this "neo-baroque" way of consuming popular culture has been linked to a particular cultural politics, sometimes referred to as "ephemeral." Since 1975 many events organized in Italy have been bascd on a consumption that is interpretive, or even aesthetic, rather than passive. from O Calabrese's, Neo-Baroque . |
