SUMMARY:Vortrag: Memory, Embodiment and the Experience of Digital Worlds
DESCRIPTION:This paper focuses on two largely under-studied features of digital visual culture and their implications for cultural memory. The first concerns the ubiquity of screens, not merely as representational vehicles – as mechanisms for delivering images to viewers - but as multi-sensory communicative interfaces which encourage particular kinds of bodily disposition among users and recalibrate temporal and spatial relations. The second concerns the constitution of digital networks – particularly social media – as distinctive worlds of action and expression whose screen-based manifestations can be visually recorded in their own right (for instance through screenshots). I will argue that these two features, which place screens in the foreground of analysis, pose significant challenges to prevalent assumptions regarding cultural memory in conditions of ubiquitous media. Most particularly, they reveal that digital interactions themselves are increasingly preserved as past events, and that engagement with them is performed through micro-scale embodied responses to screens as their sites of memory.
