We speak, live and breathe the digital all the time and every day, but how often do we engage with what it really means in the landscape of art and culture today? And what does the process of shifting between the analogue and the digital mean for our daily lives?
A poet, an art historian, two musicians, four writers and eight artists explore the meaning of digitalisation in their practice and the life they see around them. In this second issue of culturala, we gather emerging artists and writers, along with some more established professionals in the field of digital art to delve into the meaning of digitalisation critically, seeking to find out exactly what happens when something shifts form the physical to the digital.
In honour of the theme, this issue is only digital, accessible via web (computer-, tablet-, and mobile-friendly) with features such as a gallery view, kindle edition and audio version coming soon.
FEATURING Akane Kawahara, Ben Hall, Catherine Mason, Dandara Hahn, Daniel Hengst, Elspeth Walker, Fffirst Time, Hassan Bhandari, Isabel Bonafe, Kelly Huen, Maria Kruglyak, Mia Ribeiro Alonso, Sarah Lou Sasha Maarek and Valentina Ferrari.

ölmondnacht
by Anna Malina
1 august 2023
Ths film streaming, programmed by Bruno Atkinson, features one of Anna Malina’s latest films ölmondnacht. Anna works by constructing and reconstructing films through digital and analog manipulation. “ölmondnacht,” she says, “is a revenge fantasy. A corrupted & glitched daydream. A futile endeavor to cope with visions of terror… Sunflower Fields Forever! It is based on scenes from various films by necrorealist filmmaker Yevgeni Yufit, cut into a new narrative influenced by the pain unleashed by Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine.”
The film is streamed on culturala in autumn-winter of 2023, coupled with a newsletter (of course) and a long-form interview conversation between Anna and Bruno.
