The practices of art as politics are perhaps most challenged today by the interrelated expansion of digital technologies and the intensified commodification of human processes

The basic premise of this paper is that the political power of traditional art has been undermined by the impact of interrelated digital technologies and the commodifying of human processes.

What the author proposes is that for Art to re-engage its political weight it must necessarily engage in philosophy, mathematics, science, media and technology; art as politics must be profoundly interdisciplinary, and beyond the disciplinary, in speculating with the real in practice and performance.
