Postdigital Aesthetics by David Berry

A theoretical and practical examination of aesthetic practice in the ‘post-digital’ era, arguing that digital technologies are no longer novel but are entangled with material, social and political life; it shows how artists and designers work with computation, craft, glitch, interfaces, ecology and labor to produce hybrid, situated forms that challenge myths of seamlessness and technological neutrality, and it develops conceptual tools for reading the aesthetics of algorithms, material waste, and embodied interaction while urging critical, reflexive design and engagement with technological systems.
