Visiting Editors #9 – Davide Tommaso Ferrando (Innsbruck): The Editorial Practice of Everyday Life
Editorial practice of everyday life
Current possibilities for (almost) anyone to gain free and immediate access to tools for the production and consumption of digital content have radically changed our everyday relationship with the transmission of knowledge. The use of the internet and social networks is transforming it into a new kind of editorial practice. In a deeply commodified media environment characterized by superficial perception, information overload, attention deficit, filter bubbles, and constant acceleration, the editorial task is to hack existing communication technologies, seeking the cracks that exist between them, and finding new protocols capable of harnessing their potential for the creation of critical discourse. If we perceive it this way, editorial work escapes disciplinary boundaries and technological constraints and is reconfigured into everyday transmedia practice.
Davide Tommaso Ferrando is an architecture critic, researcher, and curator focusing on intersections between architecture, the city, and media. He leads the editorial teams of 011+ and Viceversa, and is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Theory of Architecture at the University of Innsbruck. http://www.zeroundicipiu.it
