Our world has become fully digital. The process of moving from a world of atoms to a world of bits which Nicholas Negroponte described in his 1995 book Being Digital, has long been completed and replaced by a state that could be referred to as being post-digital.
Traditionally, digital technology has been seen as a tool that extends our body and our skills. In the visual arts, the digital has always been associated with the computer as a tool or object. Often, the computer was simply a general-purpose device used to create photography, video, graphic design, architecture, or even fashion. The computer screen or the video projection was its output device. As a result, we have come to think about the digital in the arts in cinematic terms. 
In his 2012 book The Interface Effect, Alexander Galloway argues that the computer is not a device that remediates cinema or other media; instead, he argues, "the computer might better be understood in terms of a practice or a set of executions or actions in relation to a world." In other words, the computer is, as Galloway says, "an ethic."
The central exhibition of ONE DESIGN WEEK 2015 presents pieces by artists who work from within this post-digital situation. They attempt to interrogate, disrupt, or imagine our world, as it is formed by the execution of the abstract definitions and principles constituting the computer’s digital ethic.
“Being Post-Digital“ will show the works of about 20 artists from 8 different countries. The exhibition features works by Addie Wagenknecht (USA), Albena Baeva (Bulgaria), Zsanett Szirmay (Hungary), Carl-Johan Rosén (Sweden), Krassimir Terziev (Bulgaria), LIA (Austria), Stefan Donchev (Bulgaria), Frederik de Wilde (Belgium), Gilles de Brock (the Netherlands), as well as works by the students Boryana Petrova, Elena Andreeva, Milena Pacheruzova, Sofia Kratchanova, and Vulko Tchobanov, from the MA program “Digital Arts” at the National Academy of Arts – Sofia, and Stanislav Drca, Stefan Jovanovic, Milos Cubrilo, and Zoran Radulovic from the program “Media Arts” at the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad.
