Mark Leckey speaks about capturing moments that are gone using a medium that is flat, but attempting to maintain "life" in the work. He speaks about the internet as if it is another dimension: a new space for ideas and possibilities, and talks about how we produce and consume at the same time.
Digital art and internet culture seem to work well for us because they are not acting as a pale imitation or a pixellated reflection of what is not digital; they are an extension. Film has its ways of building on the moment, so that while some of the moment being captured is lost, other things (that add to atmosphere etc.) are added. The internet provides a space for people that is not just a virtual version of what is physical. It is not linear, and information is conveniently archived and accessible from all over the world to create advantages and a richness of discussion, information and detail you may not get elsewhere, or at least not as conveniently.
