Hopkins (@seemylittleknee) http://aimeeknight.com/2012/04/10/the-new-aestheticperhaps/#comment-1910 Sun, 20 May 2012 11:48:42 +0000 http://aimeeknight.com/?p=5071#comment-1910 You’re the first person I’ve seen that acknowledges openly that New Aesthetic is thought experiment, or pretend, as you call it. During Computers and Writing I heard a few people talking about object oriented ontology and talking about the sensory experience of objects as if they actually had sensory experiences. But it seems like either too much of a stretch or just gobbledegook to not admit that we are at least projecting our own experience on these objects.

I agree with you that the power of new aesthetic comes from how it opens up a new way of seeing. In my mind, there is a power that comes from admitting to the distributed quality of our sensory perceptions as they are mediated by our digital environments. It humbles us (or should humble us) to recognize that we aren’t the only source of knowledge or perception or information, but that everything in our environment is part of all of them. I just think the digital makes that more obvious.

There’s something really great in the new aesthetic, and I don’t like that we have to get caught up in the semantics of this label that Bridle put on it. It’s not new, and it’s connection to aesthetic, as you pointed out, doesn’t always make sense. But bridle put a name on something a very real part of how many people experience the world, and I like having a label to place on evidence of that experience.

You know, many art forms can sort of mathematically justify why and/or how things work (like music), which makes me wonder if, to some being somewhere, the whole world and every beautiful being in it are also some kind of lovely equation, spun into form….

It’s fascinating how beauty has a sort of formula…

Following the lead of the Greeks, he defined and located the aesthetic in the abstract and universal (while shunning the particular, empirical, or applied). He set a precedent for the aesthetic to be explained in other terms, with other criteria—for example, with historical, cultural, ideological, or political associations. Notably, aesthetic/sensory perception and the meaning derived from that were no longer an acceptable way of knowing the world; the lower senses could only offer deceptive, illusory appearances and mere impressions of how things really are.
