ABSTRACT
In this article, I will take a closer look at the forms of experience that are considered from a point of totality as an abounded and emptied out ideology of subject in relationship to mediated painterly image. The two rather disparate examples are used as a leading thread towards unraveling of the type of experience that is increasingly made virtual and mediated via information technology channels and interactions. The first example comes from a movie by Andrea Arnold titled Fish Tank and highlights the intensity and physical sensations of the actual event we may want to refer as ‘real’. The second is the mediated painterly image that is subject to information and technology-based painterly practice here exemplified by the work of the American painter Christopher Wool. The two modes of representation are both questioning of the systems of knowledge that no longer adhere to the authenticity of experience but are part of perpetual mediation and the broadcast of information.
