The Postdigital Constellation

Abstract

The postdigital, as an aesthetic, gestures towards a relation produced by digital surfaces in a bewildering number of different places and contexts. This interface-centricity is not necessarily screenic, however, and represents the current emerging asterism that is formed around notions of art, computation and design. In this conception, the postdigital is not purely a digital formation or artefact — it can also be the concepts, networks and frameworks of digitality that are represented (e.g. voxels, glitch, off-internet media, neo-analogue, ‘non-digital’ media, post-internet art). Nonetheless, the interesting aspect is the implicit notion of surfaces as theatres of action and performance — such as through data visualization, interactivity or material design — above and beyond a depth model, which highlights the machinery of computation (see Berry 2014, 58). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
