Zusammenfassung: | This essay explores contemporary conditions of the sculptural with a special focus on the relationship, the tensions, and the transformations of and between both analog and digital material(itie)s and media. It pro-poses to capture these conditions with the overarching term and concept "analogital." After a more general introduction and discussion of both key terms and concepts (analogital, sculptural), a third and likewise dynamic term and concept is introduced with "(im)materials," inspired by Jean-François Lyotard’s consid-erations of "the immaterials" (Les immateriaux, 1985). To further explore the analogital conditions of the sculptural, a special focus is set on the dynamics of (im)materializations and on the multiple relationships and entanglements between digital and material features and qualities of concepts, tools, working processes and results, addresses and (re)presentations, and selected examples of artists’ projects from the mid-1990s to present are discussed. Finally, further research avenues for the analogital conditions of the scuptural in the expanded field of (im)materials, (im)materialities, and (im)materializations are proposed. |
