A ditto, ditto device. is the second in a series of experimentally designed exhibition formats. This
temporary setting traces the act of copying as an omnipresent yet often invisible artistic practice at the intersection of
the digital realm and analog world.
As part of the arts-based research project originalcopy—Post-Digital
Strategies of Appropriation, the exhibition A ditto, ditto device. serves as a testbed and working model for a re-evaluation
of the dichotomy of original and copy from a post-digital perspective. The research focuses on the tensions between the supposed
immateriality of digital technologies and their material manifestations.
