Description

The philosophy of technology suggests that rather than technologies being simply useful tools, they also have an often relatively unnoticed or subconscious impact upon the way we live our lives - our interactions with the world, and the way we think.

Seen in this way, all media technologies might affect our metaphysical sense of time, space and force through their relative ability to represent these concepts.

In The Digital Image and Reality, digital visual technologies are examined through their radically different capacities for representation and simulation and the challenges that they pose to our understanding of the world.

I analyse how digital images are well suited to graphical imagination and speculation about the nature of material reality.

What is suggested throughout the book is that digital visual technologies offer a new sensual image of the world, subtly impacting not simply our subjective perception or consciousness of reality, but perhaps objective actuality itself.
