In particular, the book seeks to explore what post-media practice might indeed be in light of the commoditization and homogenization of digital networks in the age of Web 2.0, e-shopping, and mass surveillance. It achieves this goal while advocating for a new politically engaged art based on the post-media computer (the universal machine) in which post-media art would be a means of dissent that revises the relationship between producer (artist), distributor (gallery), and consumer of art (collector and museum). Thus there is pertinent food for thought here for those interested in post-digital art, post-conceptualism in general, and anything to do with our post-convergent times.
