The artists and theoreticians have called for Utopia since the beginning of 20th century is a part of many phenomena related to new media. Freedom of expression for everyone and liberation from content dictated by media magnates however brings about new, unpredicted factors – and it’s artists who call for a general sobering up.
Palo Fabuš is the culture publicist, critic and theorist. Not a journalist. His former interest in new media has progressively evolved into wide study of contemporary culture applying a variety of approaches such as sociology, media studies, art theory and philosophy. His research centers these days mostly on the relationship of ICT and evolution of cultural values, contemporary zeitgeist and perception of time.
