Dialogues on CoreCore & the Contemporary Online Avant-Garde

by 0nty, OnMyComputer

Dialogues on CoreCore & the Contemporary Online Avant-Garde gathers the work of over forty artists, writers, and philosophers to address the trajectories of the underground avant-garde digital art-world. A variety of topics and visual styles are represented in this anthology, but particular attention is paid to CoreCore, the DIY experimental filmmaking meta-trend which emerged on TikTok in the dusk of 2020. In part an anthology of critical and experimental essays, in part a curatorial artbook, in part a volume of conference proceedings, this text invites the viewer to explore the grassroots conference of a particular cybercultural moment.

This book follows on from the proceedings of "All Things are Nothing to Us", a symposium on CoreCore and the Contemporary Online Avant-Garde, held on December 2nd. 2023, at the School of Visual Arts, NYC; organized by 0nty and OnMyComputer (Dylan Smith). The Symposium involved contributions by: Flatline Construct, Persis Bekkering, Louis Morelle, Coincellpro, Dylan Smith, Kali Masoch, John Michael, 0nty, Dylan Cherry, Eddie Hewer, Alice Aster, DansDansRev (Dana Dawud), Redacted Films, Mason Noel.

obviously interesting concepts but this is one of them subjects that just dont shine in paper form!

Some really really really excellent ideas and refreshing to see a genuinely contemporary body of work. Last piece is incredible about automation and curation of art. But some of the piece were quite hard to read for being overwrought and written.
