What if we could use some excerpts from all of what we are reading now as lifeboats

in a sea of text? An attempt to play around with the continous permutations between

contents and contexts.

|
Humans have always lived in a hybrid environment surrounded by artificial and
|
|
|
natural objects. The artificial and the natural are not two separate realms, nor
|
|
|
are artificial objects simply instruments with which to conquer the natural;
|
|
|
instead, they constitute a dynamic system that conditions human experience and
|
|
|
existence. And precisely because the artificial is constantly developing toward
|
|
|
greater concretization, it demands constant reflection on its singular
|
|
|
historical condition. The milieu in which we live has also changed. Videotapes
|
|
|
have been replaced by YouTube videos, and dinner invitations are no longer
|
|
|
issued through letters, less and less by telephone calls and e- mails, but more
|
|
|
often by Facebook event invitations. These objects are basically data, sharable
|
|
|
and controllable; they can be made visible or invisible through the
|
|
|
configuration of the system. This book proposes to conduct an investigation of
|
|
|
these digital objects. The reader may already have different ideas of what a
|
|
|
digital object is, for example, a bug, a virus, a hardware component, a gadget,
|
|
|
a piece of code, a bunch of binary numbers. To allow for a more focused
|
|
|
investigation, I will limit the scope of this book to data. By digital objects,
|
|
|
I mean objects that take shape on a screen or hide in the back end of a computer
|
|
|
program, composed of data and metadata regulated by structures or schemas.
|
|
|
Metadata literally means data about data. Schemas are structures that give
|
|
|
semantic and functional meaning to the metadata; in computation, they are also
|
|
|
called ontologies— a word that has immediate associations with philosophy.
