A DIGITAL AESTHETICS: IS IT POSSIBLE?
The first part of the paper will examine some of the key issues
surrounding the nature of aesthetics. In particular, reference will be
made to Kant and beauty, as well as to experience and artistic
experimentation as this is manifest in examples of digital, visual art.
The second part of this paper will discuss the work already done on
aesthetics and the digital image by Mark B.N. Hansen, especially in his
books New Philosophy for New Media and Bodies in Code. Paul Crowther's
theory of the ontology and aesthetics of the digital image will also be
considered, as it raises the issue of whether the ontology of the
digital image is compatible with any kind of aesthetics.
JOHN LECHTE is professor in Sociology at Macquarie University in
Sydney, where he teaches in social and cultural theory. He has
published widely on continental philosophy, particularly on the work of
Julia Kristeva and Georges Bataille, and, more recently, on Bernard
Stiegler and the nature of the cinema image. His current research
concerns the nature, aesthetics and technologies of the image.
