Post-Internet Art

One winter evening in early 2014, I was at dinner in the East Village with the owner of a blue-chip London gallery, some museum curators, and a well-known video artist. The subject of conversation eventually came around to the ever- loved communal activity of the therapeutic post-Internet art bashing. “Who coined that word, anyway?” a curator asked. “Who knows,” the dealer said, “but whoever did should be shot.” I then announced the title of my upcoming exhibition, “Art Post-Internet,” and was awarded apologetic looks. It was an awkward dinner. ––––– Karen Archey

Too Much World: Is the Internet Dead?

Hito Steyerl

Is the internet dead? This is not a metaphorical question. It does not suggest that the internet is dysfunctional, useless or out of fashion. It asks what happened to the internet after it stopped being a possibility. The question is very literally whether it is dead, how it died and whether anyone killed it.

Post-Internet Art: You’ll Know It When You See It

Gary Zhexi Zhang

It was the year that Post-Internet Art ‘finally cracked the market’. In 2014, a conversation that had been bubbling away for years between a small circle of international artists and critics became the latest trending aesthetic to flood into the mainstream. What ‘Post-Internet’ actually means is anyone’s guess (and everyone’s tried), but from the Zabludowicz in London to the Ullens in Beijing, it was here, there and everywhere. To paraphrase Hito Steyerl: the Post-Internet walked off-screen and straight into the white cube.
