We Have Always Been Brainrotted
We Have Always Been Brainrotted
Description
The consumption of marginal media practices has a long history, which has only now, thanks to the power of algorithmic curation, found full expression in the phenomenon of brainrot. Through an analysis of peripheral media, the structuring of content as a digital hole, and the operationalisation of short-form content within the computational economy, this essay illustrates how brainrot can be read as an untethered expression of algorithmic culture.
THE VOID+ is an international group of researchers and artists (Lea Sande, Tommaso Campagna, Jordi Viader Guerrero, Giulia Timis, Tisa Troha, Neža Knez and Oskar Kandare) who write, perform, and livestream theoretical video essays as a form of expanded publishing. The initiative is coordinated by Aksioma – Institute of Contemporary Art and the Institute of Network Cultures.
