Except for the few, most people I know who work with new media technologies admit to spending untold hours repairing, replacing, waiting, and improvising around their machines and apps. There's an element of enforced interactivity between user and machine in these situations that are not comparable with the way we work with the other machines in our lives (washing machines, even cars don't take up that amount of maintenance.) We accept this as the price you pay for a)not being a 'real' techie, and b) a given of this creative field. So I wonder is the price the spectator might have to pay to engage with newly developing technologies worth paying for the resultant art works? How exclusive is this artform?
