Arte, como dispositivo de riesgo

Main Article Content

Aaron Jaffe

Mi título alude a «Art, as Device», la declaración fundacional del formalismo ruso de Victor Shklovsky. La piedra angular de su contribución a los estudios modernistas es la idea de la desfamiliarización (ostranenia o distanciamiento), un programa en el que la forma se opone al riesgo y a la administración. Mi ensayo rastrea señales y homologías del arte moderno, como dispositivo de riesgo, señal de riesgo y homologías que atraviesan la modernidad de los medios en un sentido teórico ampliado de los medios. Considerando especialmente un momento vorticista que representa «la realidad del presente , no o el futuro sentimental», examina, entre otros, los giroscopios, los vortoscopios y el whoroscope ideados por tinker-hobbyists modernistas aficionados, que diagraman los riesgospasados y futuros en el metamedio actual. El resultado del ensayo reconcibe dos conceptos casi omnipresentes en nuevos estudios literarios y culturales: modernismo y medio. Por un lado, el concepto de modernismo, con sus genealogías angloamericanas y ambiciones cosmopolíticas recibidas, describe un reflejo de la modernidad en la literatura, el arte, la cultura y los medios de comunicación; por otro lado, un mejor relato teórico de los medios de comunicación. El concepto de medio atrae el modernismo/la modernidad en varias otras direcciones: desde la noción de modernismo de especificidad y transparencias medias de Greenberg hacia las opacidades de un a priori técnico-medial; desde entornos cibernéticos hacia la mediación como efecto de interfaz con posibilidades escalares inhumanas. Existe una sensación aguda de que todo lo moderno, cada intento arriesgado de organizar nuestro cuerpo y nuestras vidas, se trata de una orientación media. La tarea de la crítica literaria-media-cultural, la inteligencia humana críticamente reflexiva, en la segunda era moderna de los medios de masas, según Vilém Flusser, es descubrir los aparatos detrás de los aparatos que programan los aparatos. Y, más que nunca, adaptar la afirmación teórica de los medios de Friedrich Kittler de que nuestras herramientas literarias están haciendo funcionar nuestros pensamientos: nuestras máquinas de medios están administrando nuestra inconsciencia moderna.
