This is an interesting essay that applies the insights and warnings from noted media theorist Neil Postman's 1985 book "Amusing Ourselves to Death" to our current media. It's dark but not completely dark; there's a bit of optimism at the end. And possibly some gratification for us on the Fediverse who have rejected algorithms.

"There's a whole political economy that runs on symmetry of information as a form of control. It may even amount to a new kind of class relation.

Sure, there still a landlord class that owns the land under our feet and a capitalist class that owns the factories, but maybe now there's another kind of ruling class as well - one that owns neither of those things, but instead owns the vector along which information is gathered and used."

Audiovisual Disruption proposes to dismantle the apparatus of audiovisual
arts and to rethink it from a post-digital perspective based on hybridisation. Post-digital aesthetics are grounded in impure aesthetic manifestations that exploit the effects of digital computational systems as they deeply permeate all parts of our contemporary life.

AUDIOVISUAL DISRUPTION is out!

The book examines four post-digital territories by looking on the digital infrastructure, within the effects of digital media, in-between digital and non-digital media as hybrids, and off digital media in a turn to analogue media. It offers a series of artworks that are critical to the effects of digital technologies in the post-digital age.

Today 6 Sep 2024 I'll be joining a panel at Ars Electronica (State of the Archive: Current Approaches to Digital Archives and Archives for Digital [Art]), organised by Vanessa Hannesschläger, I’ll announce the Distributed Archive project which allows to simultaneously search the Neural and V2_ websites and archive, an outcome of the The Alex Adriaansens Residency I’ve been awarded in 2023 and join the discussion on “current approaches to digitizing, preserving and (subsequently) presenting cultural heritage” with Katharina Pektor, Sandra Sonnleitner, and Chiara Zuanni. The panel takes place at POSTCITY, First Floor, Lecture Stage, between 15:00 – 16:00.

NEW BOOK: Tactical Publishing! I’m very excited to announce my new book “Tactical Publishing, Using Senses, Software, and Archives in the Twenty-First Century”, now published by MIT Press. It has taken many years to research and finalise the book, which I hope will be a solid sequel to "Post-Digital Print", and now it is finally in print. A huge thank you to all the generous people who have supported me over the years (the list is long), especially Ryan Bishop, Jussi Parikka, who along with Scott Rettberg and David Garcia has written very generous praise, my fabulous colleagues Jo Turney and Daniel Cid Moragas at Winchester School of Art - University of Southampton, Sean Cubitt and Doug Sery at MIT Press and Nick Montfort who wrote the beautiful foreword!
