It's the last of these uses that I think is most appropriate for what we were after here. In fact, it makes more sense to not think of it as the "ism of being post-digital" but as "the end of digitalism" i.e. the end of the fetishising of the digital.Mark Childshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12862795702806719677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3541768917310656836.post-90303340492958313112009-06-21T13:00:13.937-07:002009-06-21T13:00:13.937-07:00The bit of post-humanism that demotes us back to t...The bit of post-humanism that demotes us back to the level of other species (or promotes other species to our level) is probably the closest comparative 'postthingy'. The term postdigitalism is less satisfactory when it is interpreted as 'after-digitalism', or 'rejection of digitalism', in the way that postmodernism is after modernism and/or a rejection of modernism. The reconstructivist art essay was really interesting, and probably relates to the repurposing of the digital in a real-world context, but I'm not sure it is so relevant to the 52group's intentions. I do really like the idea of smashing everything up and putting it back together in an even more conventional way.

It echoes something more post postmodernist (as opposed to post-modernist or post-humanist) and made me look up this old article from 2004 (thought I notice it has been recently updated) on reconstructivism and wonder what you make of this? http://kitoba.com/pedia/Reconstructivist+Art.htmlSteven Warburtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16912828250925445659noreply@blogger.com
