Post-screen experiments [Editorial Introduction]

This themed issue presents a selection of contributions from the Post-Screen Cultures/Practices symposium held at London South Bank University in June 2016. It inaugurates what will become a new tradition of publishing an edition of the journal based on the annual MeCCSA Practice Network/JMP Practice Symposium. The 2016 symposium sought to explore the changing nature of our contemporary engagement with emergent screen- oriented technologies. The overarching theme to emerge was that the current moment is in some ways similar to the earliest days of cinema – a time of vibrant experimentation in which, while rejecting the fetishisation of technology and technological determinism, artists and media practitioners are grappling with emerging media forms and new tech- nological contexts in order to harness their potential.
