Abstract
Computer and digitalism have rapidly become the focus of our contemporary lives, affecting us not just as a cultural movement but as our perceptual contact with the world. Intrigued by this shift in our being, and the ways it affects our post-digital art scene I seek to decipher some of the complex layers, integrations and clashes of these (seemingly) contradictory worlds through Hito Steyerl’s artwork Factory of the Sun (2015) and Jon Rafman’s 9-eyes (2008-ongoing). With the explorations of virtual embodiment and perception in relation to art I aim to grasp the ambiguous outlines of existence within these worlds.Description
