About my research:
My research investigates the impact of the virtual on the notion of ‘digitality’, by looking at encounters between new media art, technoscience, and abstract materialism. It addresses a predisposition in new media and cultural theory towards approaching digital processes as purely immaterial, that is, quantifiable, probabilistic and technical (code). The thesis proposes to revisit the virtual dynamics of the digital as an abstract but real quality, which is indeterminate and autonomous but immanent to code.
