Description
This panel will discuss notions of value and digital processes within a framework that seeks to readdress aesthetics and what rethinking interface aesthetics actually means within a networked and cultural context. Within digital culture, aesthetics has traditionally been orientated around the interface as object/material. In a post Internet mixed reality society, networked social exchanges of data have disrupted the notion of objective/concrete aesthetics, repositioning it to be now both embedded in and constructed by a collective cultural value system. This panel will explore these ideas within a historical aesthetic framework, in order to attempt to reimagine what aesthetics actually are and how they fit into contemporary society.
