-This article broke down some very interesting points about form, information and the electrolobby and how the information could be translated into art.
-I really liked the way Manovich made short and quick statements to first discuss the form and information topics before he fully describes them in his own perspective. While describing the form the question, "Human: the form seeking animal?," struck me because I wasn't sure about it's purpose and what it meant to the article. Then when he described information, which I found it a bit confusing. He focused in on certain things and processes like a computer working, demonstrations and jam sessions. The article had a lot of interesting ways of describing and persuading me to believe the information could be art and I think that the way it presented this was very effective.

-The first thing that popped out at me from this article was the all caps quote, "IT'S NOT OFTEN THAT THE POPE, KNIVES, SEX, VILOINS, AND FAUST FIGURE," in the begining because it made me wonder when all of these relate to art, but Rush goes on to explain that after the mid century art has this nature to it.
- From here the article goes on to describe the history , old to new, of video art and it's beginnings.
"From action painting to action as a form or art."-Video Art was technically invented in 1965, but was considered legitimate art 20 years later. It is even recognized as a "sculpture" element.
