Response - Is the internet dead?

On Steyerls article, she discuss about how the Internet, digital technologies, and image are transforming life, work and politics. Once concept that Hiro discuss in the article is about  the term of “Circulationism” as a way to understand the contemporary potential of art and the images. It’s not about the art of making an image, but of post-producing, launching and accelerating it. It is about public relations of images in social networks, about advertisement and alienation, conformism and quantified spread and velocity.

In her opinion we have long since entered into a new paradigm — a space of no return—a free-flowing system of ‘circulation’ that circumscribes and influences everything from government to love. She delves into these new conditions of circulationism and attempts to understand and reflect on its potential and impasses. Crucially, she remarks that circulationism, if reinvented, could also be about short-circuiting existing networks, circumventing and bypassing fixed regimes of power and money.
