Anfang des 21. Jahrhunderts konstituieren sich an den Schnittstellen von Medien, Kunst und Politik neue Formen und Dynamiken des Zusammenspiels. Gegenwärtige Herausforderungen in Gesellschaft und Ökologie, wie Klima, Überwachung, Virtualisierung der Finanzwelt, sind durch hybride sowie subtile Technologien gekennzeichnet. Sie sind ubiquitär und agieren invasiv in Situationen, die sich als immer komplexer erweisen. Medienkunst nutzt ein breites Ausdrucksspektrum, um mit multisensorischen, partizipativen oder aktivistischen Zugängen die drängendsten Themen zu adressieren. Der Band zeigt, wie sich Kunstschaffende diesen Entwicklungen unter politischen Vorzeichen kritisch wie auch produktiv widmen. Mit Beiträgen von Elisa Arca, Andrés Burbano, Derek Curry, Yael Eylat Van Essen, Mathias Fuchs, Jennifer Gradecki, Sabine Himmelsbach, Ingrid Hoelzl, Katja Kwastek, José-Carlos Mariátegui, Gerald Nestler, Randall Packer, Viola Rühse, Chris Salter. At the beginning of the 21st century, new forms and dynamics of interplay are constituted at the interfaces of media, art and politics. Current challenges in society and ecology, like climate, surveillance, virtualization of the global financial markets, are characterized by hybrid and subtle technologies. They are ubiquitous, turn out to be increasingly complex and act invasively. New media art utilizes its broad range of expression in order to tackle the most urgent topics through multi-sensorial, participatory, and activist approaches. This volume shows how media artists address, with a political lens, the core of these developments critically and productively. With contributions by Elisa Arca, Andrés Burbano, Derek Curry, Yael Eylat Van Essen, Mathias Fuchs, Jennifer Gradecki, Sabine Himmelsbach, Ingrid Hoelzl, Katja Kwastek, José-Carlos Mariátegui, Gerald Nestler, Randall Packer, Viola Rühse, Chris Salter.
