- Summary:
- "Internet aesthetics like vaporwave, the Backrooms and weirdcore seem to offer glimpses of alternate realities beyond the threshold of the real. From Freud's "uncanny" to hauntology's spectral futures, these are aesthetics that revel in the strange, the eerie and the infinitely ambiguous - a messy, chaotic antidote to the ruthlessly curated digital landscapes we're fed today. Art historian and curator Valentina Tanni draws from her latest book Exit Reality and helps us unpack how these liminal aesthetics tap into feelings of ambiguity, the unsettling familiar and nostalgia for futures that never were - a reaction, perhaps, to the relentless corporate co-option and algorithmic control that has degraded so much of online culture into a bland, high-affect "midness.""-- provided by distributor.
