Thinking the phenomenon of image through the poetics of contemporary expanded painting (original) (raw)

The paper explores the evolution of painting and its metamorphosis into expanded multimedia forms, highlighting the shift from sacred to profane representations. By engaging with Martin Heidegger's philosophy, it establishes a framework for understanding 'post-aesthetics' and the ontological dimensions of contemporary expanded painting, which are seen as reflections of the current techno-scientific age. The work posits that contemporary art serves as a medium for re-engaging with the politics of being, encouraging novel interactions between people, technology, and the environment.
