The module will begin with a contextualised theoretical overview of what exactly is meant by ‘the digital’, and how digital technologies breaks with early forms of technical system. Early classes will focus on core concepts in digital technology (for instance, digital objects, metadata, algorithms) and their broader social import, including how they are involved in the creation of digital experience.
