Media experimentation in contemporary art has shifted towards the analogue. Small edition artist’s books and zines, 8/16mm film and analog photography are booming. In contrast to what the motto of ISEA2013 says, resistance to electronic arts is everything but futile. This talk will sketch why the post-digital and neo-analog are more than retro trends.
