Postcolonial ecologies in cyberspace: on the “anti-environments” of Singapore Art Week 2022s’ Somewhere in Bedok and Peripheral Spaces

This article explores how digital art exhibitions and bioecology interact in the contemporary Singaporean cultural milieu. Applying theoretical tools from recent work in environmental and oceanic media studies, I argue that mediations of digital art exhibitions in the postcolony reveal postcolonial approaches to bioecology. Digital art exhibitions can provide a frame to understand humans and bioecology as relationally – that is to say, ecologically – embedded with each other, confusing boundaries between the material and immaterial, universal and particular.
