Jack Burnham

Jack Burnham was a visionary American art critic and theorist who explored the relationship between technology, systems, and art. He believed that artwork was evolving from traditional objects to complex, interactive systems embedded within technological and social contexts. His ideas emphasized how modern art reflects and interacts with the growing digital and scientific networks shaping society. Burnham's work encouraged viewers to see art as part of a larger system, highlighting the interconnectedness of technology, ecology, and culture in contemporary life.
