The Art of a Networked World at the Beginning of the 21st Century – Maja Stanković, Networked Image, Beograd, FMK, 2022

Abstract

The scholarly monograph "Networked Image" by Maja Stanković turns our attention to two aspects of contemporary art. The first is the “disappearance of clear differences between the artistic and non-artistic” as a continuation of radical ideas and challenging traditional views of art initiated in the context of avant-garde art movements in the early 20th century and new ways of technological reproduction. The second aspect is the process of “the moving and circulation of images in different registers” in which art also participates, which, according to Stanković, revealed the liquid context, and which now serves as a starting point for the theory of networked images as an interpretative tool or method for exploring contemporary art.
