Routledge - An Ethico-Phenomenology of Digital Art Practices

Explore the complex relationship between digital technology and artistic identity in An Ethico-Phenomenology of Digital Art Practices. Published by Routledge, this book examines how digital mediums can objectify the self and depersonalize the identities of those working in the arts. It investigates the concept of the digital as a pharmakon, acting as both a potential cure and a poison for creative expression. This text addresses the growing crisis between digital tools and art by analyzing how technology may have acted as a placebo, delaying serious thought regarding these shifts. By proposing a rethinking of these dynamics through an ethico-phenomenological lens, the book provides a deep analysis of how practitioners navigate the digital landscape. It is a necessary resource for those studying the intersection of philosophy, technology, and graphic arts.
