"Post-gif" is a work which examines the contemporary digital moment, considering how aesthetic centred identity is used as a strategy to make sense of the abundance provided by the internet. The work comes from a post-“post” perspective, situated in an artistic moment that is following post-net art and post-subculture. The work considers how digital experiences mediate an exploration of archival material in the simultaneous broadcast, creation and recording of persona.
