Materiality points to the whirling complexity and entanglement of diverse factors in the digital (and post-digital) age, in which material, which like sound or language can now also be something that is not physical, is an effect of an ongoing performance. By surveying the pseudo-archeology of the term materiality, from the specificity discussions to post-medium conditions, we investigate a material and environmental turn in the media studies and visual culture. We explore the way media mediate materials and a possibility for the media to be understood as environments in an age where the collapse of realism is already widespread through the visual discourse.
