Abstract

There is no single digital aesthetics. The term is plural. There is an aesthet-ics of code, and industrial design (Gelernter 1998), of specific software packages like Flash (Munster 2003), of programming and interface design (Fishwick 2006), of sound (Dyson 2009), of viruses (Parikka 2007). And yet there is, intuitively, something which seems to draw all these together. Now the majority of domestic media are digital, from radios to TVs, cameras to mobiles, and the vast majority of printed materials; now our vehicles, houses and furniture are designed in CADCAM systems; now we no longer make images look digital as a special effect; now we are ready to think about what is common, even if it is not essential to digital media.
