Since 2008 the buzz term of post-internet art has come to be identified with an aesthetic reminiscent of an earlier lost era. Initial claims for this term can be characterised by the utopian fantasy of a borderless, immaterial, post-gendered space beyond authorship. However, the early history of post-internet can be told quite differently, with fixed geographies, clearly delineated groups of individuals working together, and specific implications for the way in which existing institutions are now consolidating this emerging canon. Is post-internet merely a sub-genre of Contemporary Art, or could it propose a rupturing of the parameters within which art is instituted? |
