It has also spawned what Dominik Schrey has called ‘a golden age of nostalgia for these allegedly “dead media”’, now explored by visual artists, filmmakers, cinematographers, Do-It-Yourself enthusiasts, Polaroid fans, Instagram users, music video directors and others. Since the mid-1990s a partially-iconoclastic impulse focused on exploring the mortality of media materials has often taken the form of medium-specific noise. However, in recent years alternative strategies that counteract clarity, involving iconoclastic disruptions of the process of mediation, supported by a host of degrading techniques and strategies that thicken and foreground the medium and its materiality, have partially replaced uses of medium-specific noise.engSchönheitUnvollkommenheitmedienspezifische GeräuscheMedienspezifikGeräuschMusikvideoNostalgieprekäre ÄsthetikÄsthetikvintagebeautyimperfectionmedium-specific noisemusic videonostalgiaprecarious aestheticsvintage307Lana Del Rey10.5117/NECSUS2015.2.FETV10.25969/mediarep/152042213-0217
