The Digital, a Continent?: Nature and Poetics - Hardcover
Details
by Vera Bühlmann (Author), Ludger Hovestadt (Editor), Vera Bühlmann (Editor)
In The Digital, a Continent?, the author argues in favor of a way of thinking about digital technology that draws on the new materialism. She uses photosynthesis and nuclear fission as examples of processes that are as artificial as they are natural to explain how digital technology can be viewed within the paradigm of a "communicative physics" in which poetics interacts with mathematical thinking. The author concludes that we can better understand ourselves and digital technology by developing notions of the multifaceted ways energy, form, and intellect interact in global architectonics.
