Venue: Kunsthal Aarhus, J.M. Mørksgade 13, Aarhus, Denmark
Organisers: Aarhus University & reSource for transmedial culture Berlin/transmediale

Addressing Post-digital Research, the conference/workshop relates to the artistic call of transmediale 2014, and asks how to formulate research questions, research methods, and research dissemination in the light of an "afterglow" of the digital revolution. We are witnessing fundamental changes: not only do we no longer distinguish between online and off-line or analogue and digital practices, the medium of digital technology also seems to hold less fascination. It has become embedded in almost every contemporary aesthetic practice. In this, our focus of attention somewhat shifts: we become interested in the mechanisms of commercialisation (e.g. how Amazon, Google, Apple, etc. influence the way we read, write, draw, perceive, etc.), and also in the renewed significance of the technologies we left behind (the role of print, magnetic tapes, floppy disks, etc.). At the workshop artists and researchers from various fields and backgrounds explore theories and practices relating to the post-digital. The aim of the workshop is to produce an issue of the "Peer-reviewed newspaper" series as a thematic publication for transmediale 2014. Furthermore, it will also form the basis of the next issue of A Peer-reviewed Journal About.
