| Summary: | 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.

Theoretical consideration of digital technology Visual language and science New volume in the Applied Virtuality Book Series Die Autorin erörtert eine Denkweise über digitale Technik, die sich auf den neuen Materialismus stützt. The Digital, a Continent? verwendet dabei beispielhaft die Photosynthese und die Kernspaltung als ebenso künstliche wie natürliche Prozesse, um zu erklären, wie die digitale Technik im Paradigma einer "kommunikativen Physik"" gesehen werden kann und in der Poetik mit mathematischem Denken zusammenspielt. Die Autorin schlussfolgert, dass wir uns selbst und die digitale Technik besser verstehen können, wenn wir Vorstellungen davon entwickeln, wie Energie, Form und Intellekt in einer Architektonik von Welt in vielfältiger Weise zusammenspielen.
