What is the afterlife of a platform, a drawing, a game world, an archive, a website, a space? What does it mean for these entities to end? And what does it mean to resurrect them digitally — and who has the power to do so?

This time .RAW explores visual afterlives between physical and digital terrains — mutated, awkwardly resurrected, unsettling, ambiguous transformations and haunting farewells.

Where does a machine’s desire begin, and where might it touch ours? How do digital representations of our bodies affect the ways we see our physical bodies, and vice versa?

In the second issue of .RAW, we are reflecting on the vibrating co-existence of the physical and digital bodies: the unsettling and mesmerising, yet surprisingly mundane expanded sensorium.
