Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | With the end of the twentieth century, technological change has led to an immense shift in our collective perception and experience of "reality," creating a powerful "cultural impact of computerization as a new digital virtuality" (Shields, 2003). How are the new digital technologies shaping the aesthetics of contempo-rary visual and material culture? Rather than looking at virtual space itself, this essay draws attention to the feedback loops that arise from the increasing digitization of visualization and design processes in the last decades and their impact on the material world. At its heart is a phenomenon that became viral in the first decade of the twenty-first century: a shift of aesthetic qualities in which physical artifacts began to display the aesthetics of the (digitally) virtual. As the phenomenon of "virtual aesthetics" pervades material culture widely, the examination of artworks such as the Phantom Truck by Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle shown at Docu-menta XII (2007) will be expanded to include design and architecture, with a focus on works that occupy a space between the virtual and the physical, between simulation and facticity. |
