"Citarella's work, particularly through Doomscroll, challenges the notion of traditional art forms by integrating live podcasting into a museum context, prompting discussions about the role of digital media in contemporary art."
"The live tapings of Doomscroll at the Whitney serve as a case study in how institutions are adapting to the digital age, seeking to attract younger audiences through innovative formats."
Joshua Citarella's podcast, Doomscroll, was featured in live tapings at the Whitney Biennial, raising questions about its place in a museum. Citarella, known for his work in the New York post-Internet scene, shifted to a research-based art practice focused on political discourse in digital spaces. He argues that traditional media no longer effectively drives discourse, prompting him to explore how young artists and activists form political views in online communities. This shift highlights the evolving priorities of museums in engaging new audiences.
