tapestry
installation
acrylic
digital software
tesserae
Solution
The answer is digital software.
Explanation for each option:
Tapestry: This is a form of textile art, traditionally woven by hand on a loom. While tapestries can be used in contemporary art, they are not specifically associated with post-internet art, which often involves digital and internet-based mediums.
Installation: Installation art is a broad category that involves creating three-dimensional works designed to transform a space. While installations can incorporate digital elements, the term itself is not exclusive to post-internet art.
Acrylic: This refers to a type of paint made with pigment suspended in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylics are used in traditional painting and are not specifically linked to post-internet art.
Digital software: This is the correct answer. Post-internet art frequently utilizes digital software as it often involves the use of internet-based technologies, digital manipulation, and virtual environments. Artists use software to create, manipulate, and present their work in ways that reflect the digital age.
Tesserae: These are small blocks of stone, tile, glass, or other materials used in the creation of mosaics. Like tapestry, tesserae are not typically associated with post-internet art, which focuses more on digital and internet-based mediums.
