Abstract
La aparición de las prácticas artísticas asociadas a los medios tecnológicos digitales, y más
aún a partir de la implantación de internet, en la última década del siglo pasado, ha motivado
el surgimiento de una abundante serie de textos teóricos con la pretensión de definir dichas
actuaciones y, a la vez, justificar su existencia. Textos que no hacen sino reactualizar la
abundante literatura artística –los manifiestos– que se dio durante el primer tercio de siglo xx
con las vanguardias históricas. Asimismo, algunos de los manifiestos más recientes reenfocan
los conceptos ya esbozados en aquella época, en torno al papel y la misión del artista, su
capacidad de influencia para el cambio (activismo), el público receptor y las propias manifestaciones (características de la obra de arte, más allá de las cuestiones formales, y su difusión
en un sentido masivo), en un contexto mucho más complejo y rico, asociado con un cambio
Description
In the final decade of the last century, the appearance of artistic practices relating to digital
technological media, and even more so the introduction of the internet, has brought about
the emergence of an abundant series of theoretical texts with the intention of defining said
behaviours, and at the same time, justifying their existence. Texts which serve to reupdate
the large quantity of art literature – manifestos - which came about during the first third of
the 20th century with the historic avant-garde movements. Furthermore, some of the more
recent manifestos refocus on the concepts that were already outlined at that time, relating to
the role and mission of the artist, their capacity to influence for change (activism), the receiving
public and the artistic manifestations themselves (characteristics of the work of art, beyond
formal questions, and their dissemination in a sense relating to the masses), in a context that
is much more complex and rich, associated with a change in the sociocultural paradigm, as
was the arrival of so-called "mass society". Our work has been focused on considering more
vital aspects cited above, some of which have the same subject matter as a number of the
more significant texts, beginning with The Conscience of a Hacker (1986), by Loyd Blankenship,
and lastly, Redefinition of Artistic Practices (2000-2001), by the Société Anonyme
