Exhibition and performances
December 8, 2017 – January 17, 2018
A ditto, ditto device. is the second in a three-part series of experimentally designed exhibition formats. The show at the Angewandte Innovation Laboratory traces the act of copying as an omnipresent yet often invisible artistic practice at the intersection of the digital realm and analog world. As part of the arts-based research project originalcopy—Post-Digital Strategies of Appropriation, the exhibition A ditto, ditto device. serves as a test setting and working model for a re-evaluation of the dichotomy of original and copy from a post-digital perspective. The research focuses on the tensions between the immateriality of digital technologies and their material manifestations in physical space. A main question is how post-digital copying techniques can be made productive in the artistic realm while investigating the very same techniques in a self-reflexive loop with the means of fine art. Is it possible to develop a methodology of contemporary copying practices with a copying process that always remains aware of itself? And how can such a loop of thought reveal knowledge about the simultaneous omnipresence and invisibility of the phenomenon of the copy, which has deep historical, cultural, and technological roots in society?
