Post-digital fairy tales
(2021)
How can Interactive Digital Narratives (IDNs) be employed to reflect on and understand post-digital society and its challenges? To discuss such a complex matter, object of our investigation through the years, we rely on the results of an experimentation that used fairy tales as a starting point for opening up imagination and increasing the distance to everyday life and typical media usage behavior. The activity “Postdigital Fairy Tales” was conducted at Politecnico di Milano, bringing together 45 students in Communication Design for five full days of intensive experimentation. We explored the practice of crafting and developing interactive narratives that analyze societal twists and shifts due to digitalization by remixing traditional fairy tale narratives with aspects of our post-digital era. For this reason we chose to focus on Instagram and to exploit its affordances. The results show how IDNs can be used to question digital media usage with regard to patterns of aesthetics and interaction modes, and to analyse the wicked problems associated with digitalization.
un/natural surrogates
(2021)
The visual essay is an extension of the 2019 online exhibition un/natural surrogates which was created as part of the research project "Postdigital Art Practices in Cultural Education". The essay contrasts thirteen artworks from that show with thirteen newly selected artworks from the last seventy years, based on aesthetic similarities, parallels in the subject matter, and other related characteristics of the works. In doing so, an ahistorical story without -isms is offered.
