In Materializing New Media, Anna Munster offers an alternative
aesthetic genealogy for digital culture. Eschewing the prevailing
Cartesian aesthetic that aligns the digital with the disembodied,
the formless, and the placeless, Munster seeks to "materialize"
digital culture by demonstrating that its aesthetics have
reconfigured bodily experience and reconceived materiality.
Her topics range from artistic experiments in body-computer
interfaces to the impact that corporeal interaction and
geopolitical circumstances have on producing new media art and
culture. She argues that new media, materiality, perception, and
artistic practices now mutually constitute "information
aesthetics." Information aesthetics is concerned with new modes of
sensory engagement in which distributed spaces and temporal
variation play crucial roles. In analyzing the experiments that new
media art performs with the materiality of space and time, Munster
demonstrates how new media has likewise changed our bodies and
those of others in global information culture.
Materializing New Media calls for a re-examination of the roles of
both body and affect in their relation to the virtual and to
abstract codes of information. It offers a nonlinear approach to
aesthetics and art history based on a concept of "folding" that can
discern certain kinds of proximities and continuations across
distances in time (in particular between the Baroque and the
digital). Finally, it analyzes digital culture through a logic of
the differential rather than of the binary. This allows the author
to overcome a habit of futurism, which until now has plagued
analyses of new media art and culture. Technology is now not seen
as surpassing the human body but continually reconfiguring it and
constitutive of it.
