Series: Digital Culture & Society

Do models of a ground-breaking art of the information age, an ?algorithmic revolution?, or of a democratization of art production still have any mileage? How do contemporary art practitioners cope with the political situation and with the attempts of the Silicon Valley giants to appropriate algorithmic generation of art-like artefacts? This issue aims to discuss how computer art from the pioneering days is now being reframed as digital, post-digital or algorithmic art under the prevailing conditions of big data, smart AI, an almost all-encompassing surveillance technology and a political state of neo-liberalism.
