It describes the production phase during which the material previously shot is edited and assembled into a final movie. Post-production is a series of small, usually unspectacular procedures: editing, adding the final credits, voice dubbing, and so on. Post-production is usually done by a team of professionals who have not participated in the shooting of the movie itself: their job is to create extra value on the basis of what they have received. This is a moment when the registered picture can be transformed to convey meanings not necessarily identical with those originally intended.
 
In the late 90s, post-production became a metaphor of cultural activity as a whole, and artistic production in particular. Artists have been increasingly involved in recycling existing ideas or works, editing found or, not always legally, borrowed material. This attitude has given rise to a wide array of artistic strategies that are no longer focused on producing objects or creating exhibitions, but rather on shifting meanings in existing areas such as the economy, design, or architecture. As a result, artists have become increasingly interested in, for instance, local communities, economic conditions, or the specificity of places. At the same time, the line between production and consumption, as well as between creation and copying, has become blurred. Projects assume unspectacular form, and no longer follow the logic of a spectacle with its focus on the climax point. Instead, artists have been focusing on the long-term "side effect." One of the main consequences of such an attitude is usually a revealing or strengthening of social ties and relationships. Post-production artists go towards today's typical need for filling gaps in life's mechanical organization with meaning. Their activities are devoid of the "compulsion" of efficiency. "Even if these projects were not continued, and thus failed as 'social service,' that'd still probably be an artistic success."
