Ironies of Web
How do we take the measure of the contemporary? In the recent spate of texts championing "post-critique," the answer is formulated in the negative: not with the outmoded tools of psychoanalysis, ideology critique, or deconstruction. Who needs a hermeneutics of suspicion, ask Stephen Best and Sharon Marcus, the editors of the special issue of Representations that first pitched the plan of "surface reading," when surfaces no longer conceal anything, when the workings of power are fully on display? "[D]emystifying protocols," they write, seem "superfluous in an era when images of torture at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere [are] immediately circulated on the internet."1 No point in attempting to uncover a disguised truth when things are just as they appear. Elsewhere, I have commented on the way this particular example, adduced for its self-evidence, raises questions that go unanswered: for instance, if the "immediate" circulation of images on the Internet plays a key role in making perception redundant, shouldn't the internet as medium of transmission be pivotal to

Speaker 1(): A scene from Two Boys by Nico Muhly Two Boys, the year-old composer Nico Muhly’s first commissioned labor at the New York Metropolitan Opera, has been described as solving, of all things, the issue of representing the Internet in art. A collaborator said it attempted to “explore not just literal representations of how online communication works, but also more poetic expressions of what interconnectedness means.” We sent two critics, Wayne Koestenbaum and Brian Droitcour, to investigate. The two were well-suited: Koestenbaum is an acclaimed poet and has written the definitive book on gay men and opera, and Droitcour has won both Yelp Elite status and a collaboration with the New Museum for his internet-based art criticism.
