But there is still a weight to Mohr’s work and a virtue in the slowness with which he took up computer science. New media moves quick these days. Game hacker Cory Arcangel has completed five major projects in the last half dozen years. Wade Guyton, together with his Epson printers, has gone from a near standing start to a Whitney retrospective in just over the same amount of time. This may be art for our times, but our times surely have less purpose. “I know those names,” says Mohr, when I ask about these young Turks, “but I’m not aware of what they’re doing.” It doesn’t seem worth pressing, but nevertheless, you’d hope today’s new media artists, more than 100 of which have their own pages on Wikipedia, are all well aware of their trailblazing colleague Mohr. You’d hope they’re well aware of what he’s doing and, with the fascist threat still alive in Europe and beyond, one reason why he does it.
