<small><i>... we postulated that there was at a certain point a
close relationship between forms that </i></small><br>
<small><i>now exist quite separately from one another, that is,
the realms of fine art, experimental film, </i></small><br>
<small><i>literature, poetry, music, and technological
development as well. What is it supposed to mean </i></small><br>
<small><i>that 16mm projectors have soon found their last
luxurious performance site in art institutions, </i></small><br>
<small><i>while YouTube represents a contemporary way to watch
an interview with Hollis Frampton? </i></small><br>
<small><i>Conversely, the gradual absorption of the genre of
experimental film into the realm of media art </i></small><br>
<small><i>of the 1980s and 90s can also be seen as a
transformation analogous to general social and media </i></small><br>
<small><i>development, going hand in hand with the development
of individualization and the consumer society. </i></small><br>
<br>
<small><i>... wir sind davon ausgegangen, dass es zu einem
gewissen Zeitpunkt ein Naheverhältnis zwischen </i></small><br>
<small><i>heute eher getrennt existierenden Formen gegeben hat:
den Bereichen der bildenden Kunst, </i></small><br>
<small><i>Experimentalfilm, Literatur, Poesie, Musik, und
durchaus auch der Technologieentwicklung. </i></small><br>
<small><i>Was hat es zu bedeuten, dass 16mm-Projektoren bald
ihre letzte luxuriöse Aufführungsstätte </i></small><br>
<small><i>in Kunstvereinen und Galerien gefunden haben, während
Youtube am iPhone die aktuelle </i></small><br>
<small><i>Möglichkeit ist, ein Hollis Frampton Interview zu
sehen? Ist umgekehrt das sanfte Eingehen </i></small><br>
<small><i>des Genres Experimentalfilm in den Bereich der
Medienkunst der 1980er und 1990er Jahre </i></small><br>
<small><i>nicht auch eine Transformation analog der allgemeinen
Gesellschafts- und Medienentwicklung </i></small><br>
<small><i>gewesen, anhand der Entwicklung von Individualisierung
und Konsumgesellschaft?</i></small><br>
