“Out of the Hothouse and into the Wild,” a presentation by Joline Blais and Jon Ippolito at the ARCO Madrid Experts Forum on 15 February 2009, aimed to remind visitors to this international art fair that new media are the norm outside the artworld, even if they are ghettoized within it.
In the age of global networks and climate change, the paper argues by examples and statistics that the art world would do well to look outside its narrow purview.
