Transitive Media [Philosophy]: Think(er)Ing Technologies in Real-Time

By Wolfgang Ernst

With the pervasive digitalization of communication and information devices in society, and with the increasing supremacy of software that dissimulates its physical medium, actual technologies are increasingly disappearing behind their user-oriented surfaces and manifest content. The more human users are superficially in touch with such devices, the more their technical essence recedes into an almost non-intelligible sphere, culminating in the hidden layers of neuronal nets in Artificial Intelligence.
