Can thought aka theory be as fast and up-to-date as reality itself? Perhaps not, but this conversation between Valentina Tanni and Silvia Dal Dosso about internet aesthetics (and, inevitably, ethics) comes as close to it as possible. What are “landscapes beyond the threshold”, why a suffix is more #core than a prefix and how dark has hivemind become in the meantime? Hell, let’s just call it Applied Post-Ballardianism – “we all went to the same pool”, after all.
Valentina Tanni is an art historian and curator. She is interested in the relationship between art and technology, with a special focus on internet cultures.
Silvia Dal Dosso is an artist, creative director and researcher in the field of digital technologies and web subcultures. She is one of the co-founders of the Clusterduck collective.
