Net.Art as Language Games
Duarte Valverde, Luis Eduardo (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona)

Publicació:	The European Society for Aesthetics, 2015
Resum:	This paper is primarily concerned with the difficulties posed by aesthetically assessing contemporary art. There is a general sense of unease towards current art practices. The possibilities of rationality weaken when faced with an art which lacks definition, and which moreover is diluted by information, fashion and overall cultural consuming practices. Yves Michaud in his book Critères esthétiques et jugement de gout offers the possibility to solve the problems of rationality and comprehension of contemporary art practices through a line of thought, analytic philosophy, that connects Hume's Philosophy in Of the Standard of Taste and Wittgenstein's language-games. In this paper, I intend to focus on the experience of net. art, specifically in the work of Jodi, as, on one hand, the experience of these net artists represents a new formalist current, especially the metalanguage pertaining to the so called "heroic period" of netart. In a specific way, I am relating the work of Jodi to some of the conditions of the functioning of language-games as seen in Wittgenstein, such as: aesthetic perplexities, supplementary descriptions and family resemblance.
