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.
