The twentieth century took it upon itself to break down our relationship with language and to violently deconstruct the image. Even as our web literacy increases, our capacity to understand its increasing ubiquity remains at the level of the ‘user’, the consumer of a seemingly hermetic abstraction. Art might like to talk about what it feels like to live through social media, but by and large artists find themselves complicit like everyone else; they are always 12 steps behind the tech companies; the parameters of their freedom are established elsewhere.
