With the pervasive digitalization of communication and information devices in society, actual technologies are increasingly disappearing behind their user-oriented surfaces and manifest content. This book argues for a media engagement that instead stays close to the mechanism and becomes conscious of its knowledge value in real time.

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.

1. From Beyond: Transitive Media Insight
