The media technologies that surround and suffuse our everyday life
profoundly affect our relation to reality. Philosophers since Plato
and Aristotle have sought to understand the complex influence of
apparently simple tools of expression on our understanding and
experience of the world, time, space, materiality and energy. The
Digital Image and Reality takes up this crucial philosophical task
for our digital era. This rich yet accessible work argues that when
new visual technologies arrive to represent and simulate reality,
they give rise to nothing less than a radically different sensual
image of the world. Through engaging with post-cinematic content
and the new digital formats in which it appears, Strutt uncovers
and explores how digital image-making is integral to emergent modes
of metaphysical reflection - to speculative futurism, optimistic
nihilism, and ethical plasticity. Ultimately, he prompts the reader
to ask whether the impact of digital image processes might go even
beyond our subjective consciousness of reality, towards the
synthesis of objective actuality itself.
