Summary
In the context of this work, I propose the examination of my compositional
strategy in the context of a postdigital1 perspective and present my artistic method
as a tool for visualizing and sensually experiencing digital effects in the analogue
world. This approach is based on the assumption that, today, the use of digital tools
and representational forms is no longer the exception but the rule, and that this
circumstance nowadays significantly influences our interactions, views and body
images. In particular, these approaches address the question of whether, in this
newly established constitution, our view of the analogue, non-digital environment
has also changed. “Post-digitality” is to be understood here as a “shift in perception”.
This readjustment of a digitally influenced or digitally reflective perspective will be
presented as a compositional strategy. Under the title "Switching Worlds", this
practice will be established as a technique that actively thematizes the interweaving
of the analogue with the digital and their interplay, thus making it palpable, and shall
present and contrast different perspectives. The comparison of virtual and physical
worlds and their artistic decoupling will be presented as a compositional approach
and method of artistic research that attempts to convey these implications not only
theoretically, but also to make them comprehensible to the senses.
