ABSTRACT
The chapter “The Prefix and Postproduction” consists of evaluating the ongoing need to label the apparent experience of repetition of cultural variables in new forms, contexts, concepts, and ideas. It examines the deployment of modular complexity and the assemblage gaze across cultural frays in terms of non-linear development, in which the presupposed move towards linear progress is not the result, but rather a form of difference through repetition. The chapter links modernism to networked culture by way of meta that makes appropriation and remix cultural binders across all creative forms and means of communication. Postproduction, as a concept of media reflection, informed and shaped the late postmodern period. For this reason, postproduction is the frame of reference for the ideas and works discussed throughout the chapter.
