In comparison with the generation of the so-called Millennials, born roughly between 1980 and 2000, the Post-Millennials could be said to be the first “true” digital natives of human history, since they are exposed to computers, electronic tablets and smartphones from the very first days of their lives. Today’s children are submerged in a continuous flow of digital moving image consumption. From an early age, they make video calls via Skype with distant relatives. They watch clips on YouTube before they can walk and talk. They are making their own cinema, both as improvised film programmers and as amateur filmmakers, often before their first theatrical film experience takes place. Touchscreen tech-savvy toddlers explore rather intuitively all kinds of apps and functions of smartphones and tablets, not because they are more genius than their parents, but just because they grow up with these devices and learn the digital (mostly touchscreen-based) language often well before they know how to write and read in their own mother tongue or, more generally, before they go to elementary school. This special issue aims at analyzing Post-Millennials’ cinema experiences and practices.

TRANSICONMORPHOSIS, the result of a theoretical reflection on the development of new forms of technological communication and their effects on human beings as well as their political impact, comprises a conventional chat service hosted in a computer interfaced with a series of electrodes connected to the face of the artist. The emoticon received through the chat translates into electrical impulses that force the artist’s facial features to mimic the expression of each emoticon.

Last week, Facebook introduced one-to-one video calling. With a claimed userbase of 750 million accounts, the potential for ubiquitous video calling seems obvious. But, will it work? Of all post-industrial revolution communication technologies, video calling has had the rockiest path to usability and popularity. Could Facebook have the edge that has eluded prior services?
