Rematerializing ‘the Internet’: 'IT', a Choreographic Performance by Marta Ziółek

Abstract


Choreographer, performer, dancer Marta Ziółek in her artistic practice uses strategies deeply ingrained in wholly-mediatized culture. At her work entitled THIS (TO, 2015) she reperforms and process’ everyday practices and rematerializes digital representions and symulakra circulating in social media. For analysis of her practice an author used concepts of remediation, postmediality, postinternet art and post dance, which let interpret choreographer’s practices as the processing of media scripts and formats.
