Dialogues on CoreCore & the Contemporary Online Avant-Garde.

Dialogues on CoreCore & the Contemporary Online Avant-Garde gathers the work of over forty artists, writers, and philosophers to address the trajectories of the underground avant-garde digital art-world. A variety of topics and visual styles are represented in this anthology, but particular attention is paid to CoreCore, the DIY experimental filmmaking meta-trend which emerged on TikTok in the dusk of 2020. In part an anthology of critical and experimental essays, in part a curatorial artbook, in part a volume of conference proceedings, this text invites the viewer to explore the grassroots conference of a particular cybercultural moment.

This book follows on from the proceedings of "All Things are Nothing to Us", a symposium on CoreCore and the Contemporary Online Avant-Garde, held on December 2nd. 2023, at the School of Visual Arts, NYC; organized by 0nty and OnMyComputer (Dylan Smith). The Symposium involved contributions by: Flatline Construct - Persis Bekkering - Louis Morelle - Coincellpro - Dylan Smith - Kali Masoch - John Michael - 0nty - Dylan Cherry - Eddie Hewer - Alice Aster - DansDansRev (Dana Dawud) - Redacted Films - Mason Noel
