The digital medium can be both a cure and poison for digital art practices, and this book explores the relationship between the two in terms of an ethico-phenomenological practice informed by an understanding of the digital medium. It engages with underground cultures such as FLOSS and proposes their rethinking in terms of an ethico-phenomenological practice.

Digital art practitioners face a constant threat posed by the digital medium, which can both objectify the self and depersonalize artistic identities. While digital technology can be seen as a pharmakon, capable of either curing or poisoning, in the context of digital art practices, it has arguably functioned as a placebo, allowing us to postpone the inevitable crisis between digital and art.

This book aims to analyze this relationship and propose a rethinking of it through an ethico-phenomenological practice informed by a deep understanding of the digital medium. Giuseppe Torre delves into underground cultures like Free and Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) and their connections with art discourse. The discussion is enriched by various philosophical discourses and media theories, with a particular focus on how these ideas intersect with the existing literature in performance studies.

Packed with examples of artwork and practices, this book will be of immense interest to students and scholars of theatre and performance studies, art, and technology.
