Programeri, hakeri, povjesničari umetnosti, kuratori ne pričaju isti jezik. No čini se da se ponekad razumiju, još češće da se uopće na razumiju. Florian Cramer govorit će o prirodi i genealogiji upravo tog nesporazuma. Vaša pitanja nakon predavanja imaju priliku izboriti svoje mjesto na vremenskoj osi bilježenja tih fenomena. Nesporazum ili sretni susret? Nevažno, zajednički odlazak na pizzu je izvjestan.

Florianovim rječima:

"The lecture will be a critical review of the discourse on software  as art that was begun in the early 2000s, but has historical  precursors in the early 1970s.

Media art and computer hacker traditions nominally converged in the 1990s and more substantially since the early 2000s. The question is whether the resulting practices still count as art. The likely answer for a contemporary art system that has re-embraced the notion of fine art is, for sure: negative."

Biografija ponovno vlastitim rječima:

"My background is comparative literature and art history combined with practical experience in software and copyleft culture, experimental arts, poetics and aesthetics. My essay "Words Made Flesh", written in 2004 on a research fellowship at Piet Zwart Institute, sums up my larger historical interest in the field, my German Ph.D. thesis "Exe.cut[up]able Statements" elaborates it more specifically for the history of literature and text-based art.
