Hito Steyerl: Digital Realism and the Work of the Museum

Summary/Abstract: Leśniak presents an interpretation of selected works and texts by contemporary German artist Hito Steyerl. Drawing on Nicolas Bourriaud’s version of the concept of digital realism and the notion of enrichment proposed by Luc Boltanski and Arnaud Esquerre, Leśniak demonstrates that Steyerl’s practice is characterised by an exceptional ability to thematise current problems. Her works are not only extremely relevant in the way they refer to problems related to the mechanisms of visuality in the digital age, but also in the way they tackle the functioning of institutions – museums and galleries – as a process of enrichment that is key to the logic of capitalism in the post-industrial era.
