Quotes:

Hito Steyerl: The post-internet walked off screen and straight into the white cube

Nathan Jurgenson: Between virtual and real, online and off, when in fact we live somewhere in between

Droitcour : Post-Internet Art, you'll know it when you see it

Ben Vickers: We're all Post-Internet Artist now. But it's also a condition in the sense of a prerequisite, an injunction for contemporary artist to reflect up on the world in which they live, one in which metaphysical experience and social reality are guided by the vectors and velocities of technological change

Gary Zhexi Zhang: The Post-Internet places itself within and against contemporary art history, as its perennial motifs - mass culture and the readymade - find themselves extended and disturbed through the black mirror. Rather than dwelling on the Post-Internet, it might be time to move on - to think in terms of pre- something else.
