Estonian Art magazine 2017-1

Estonian Art 1/2017 focuses on Katja Novitskova and post-internet art.

As a tribute to Katja Novitskova, who represents Estonia at the 57th Venice Biennale with the project “If you could only see what I have seen with your eyes”, this time the magazine explores post-Internet art. The past, present and future of the art movement are examined, while discovering new exciting trends in contemporary art, design and architecture.

Post-internet art can be defined as all art that has been influenced by networked culture and is influenced by cyber and digital technology and the ubiquitous glittering screen. The movement brings together themes of post-apocalyptic survival, the Anthropocene and the ubiquitous post-internet, combining art with design and the virtual with the tangible.

17 authors look at the post-Internet movement and its emergence from different angles:

Katja Novitskova chats with Jaakko Pallasvuo about impostor syndrome and fungi, Eva-Erle Lilleaed traces Novitskova’s animals and creations, and Kati Ilves talks about the project “If only you could see what I have seen with your eyes”. Estonian-Lithuanian cultural exchange: Konstanet gallery founder Keiu Krikmann writes about Lithuanian artist Pakui Hardware. Pakui Hardware’s Neringa Černiauskaitė writes about Konstanet. In the design section, Ott Kagovere describes the political influence of the internet’s everyday graphics in graphic design, Sofia Hallik writes about cybernetic influences, and Kaarin Kivirähk reflects the current moment in post-internet fashion. Martin Rünk talks with Kristina Õllek and Kert Viiart about the “@exhibit_onscroll” project. Pau Wealder gives Spanish post-internet art an international perspective.

Raivo Kelomees deals with topics from 90s network art to the post-internet movement in controversial postmodern terms. Mikk Madisson and Rainar Aasrand write about how SKATKA reveals the dirty back rooms of e-utopias. Plus two visual essays by Norman Orroltja Kristina Õllek & Kert Viiart based on their Instagram exhibition “@exhibit_onscroll”.

The issue also contains articles on Estonian architecture and design.
