A look at post-digital aesthetics to unveil the current impacts of digital media technologies on our post-digital age.
Post-digital art suggests a form of embodiment of digital technologies that unfolds in physical space through hands-on material approaches, and even the repurposing of older analogue media. Pedro Ferreira examines these aesthetics in contemporary audiovisual arts as reactions to our post-digital condition. He traces four post-digital territories by looking on the digital infrastructure, within the effects of the post-digital condition, in-between digital and non-digital media as media hybrids, and off digital media in a turn to analogue media. Concluding with a series of artworks, this study exposes the material, sociocultural and environmental consequences of digital technologies in our post-digital age.
