Digital Media: Human-Technology Connection examines what it is like
to be alive in today's technologically textured world and showcases
specific digital media technologies that make this kind of world
possible. So much of human experience occurs through digital media
that reflection on the process and proliferation of digital
consumption has become necessary. This book takes on that task
through an interdisciplinary array of sources including philosophy,
media studies, film studies, media ecology, and philosophy of
technology. When placed in the interpretive lenses of artifact,
instrument, and tool, digital media can be studied in a uniquely
different way that pushes the boundaries on production,
distribution, and communication and alters the way humans and
technology connect with each other and the world. In the first
section, Raw Materials, Stacey O'Neal Irwin examines pertinent
concepts like digital media, philosophy of technology,
phenomenology and postphenomenology . In the second, Feeling the
Weave, Irwin uses the postphenomenological framework, to explore
empirical cases focused on deep analysis of screens, sound, photo
manipulation, data-mining, aggregate news and self-tracking.
Postphenomenological concepts like multistability, variational
theory, microperception, macroperception, embodiment, technological
mediation are explored. Digital Media demonstrates that digital
media technologies and digital content are not neutral. They
texture the world in multiple and varied ways that transform human
abilities, augment experience, and pattern the world in significant
ways.
