==== (Post-)Digitale Kultur / (Post-)Digital Culture ==== | |
| |
(Post-)Digitalität wird nicht primär "am Computer" erfahren, sondern durchzieht als akute Spannungen unseren Alltag. Als Zukunft, die immer stärker vorausberechnet wird und dennoch, oder gerade deswegen, kaum mehr planbar erscheint; als Erweiterung der persönlichen Handlungsfähigkeit in einer Welt der umfassenden Kontrolle; als Gleichzeitigkeit der Betonung wie auch Auflösung von Individualität in statistischen Profilen; als Krise und Ausweitung kapitalistischer Logiken oder als Transformation der lebenden Körper durch die informationellen Maschinen. | |
| |
Der Fokus auf (Post-)digitale Kultur eröffnet einen Zugang zur vielschichtigen Technopolitik, in der Technologie eine wichtige Dimensionen der Gegenwart darstellt. Kunst ist eine eine Möglichkeit, diese Spannungen zu erkunden und neue Wege zu finden, mit ihnen umzugehen. | |

| ==== (Post-)Digital Culture ==== |
| |
//(Post-)digitality is not primarily experienced “on the computer”, but permeates our everyday lives as acute tensions. As a future that is increasingly being calculated in advance and yet, or perhaps precisely because of this, seems almost impossible to plan for; as extension of personal agency in a world of comprehensive control; as simultaneity of the emphasis on, and dissolution of, individuality in statistical profiles; as crisis and expansion of capitalist logics, or as transformation of living bodies by informational machines.// | **"Technology is the active human interface with the material world.** |
| |
//The focus on (post-)digital culture opens up an approach to multi-layered technopolitics, in which technology represents an important dimension of the present. Art can be a way of exploring these tensions and proposing different ways of dealing with them.// | **Its technology is how a society copes with physical reality: how people get and keep and cook food, how they clothe themselves, what their power sources are (animal? human? water? wind? electricity? other?) what they build with and what they build, their medicine — and so on and on. Perhaps very ethereal people aren’t interested in these mundane, bodily matters, but I’m fascinated by them, and I think most of my readers are too."** |

| |
| Our current interfaces are failing us, presenting a distorted image of the world and generating distructive relations. This is, in part, a failure of imagination and aesthetics for being in the world differently. |
