Description
The emergence of software as a guiding metaphor for our neoliberal world is a surprising and thought-provoking phenomenon. New media thrives on cycles of obsolescence and renewal, with each new iteration building upon the last. In "Programmed Visions Software and Memory", Wendy Hui Kyong Chun examines this process, arguing that the logic of programmability underlying these cycles has profound implications for our understanding of the world. Chun contends that software has become a powerful metaphor for everything we believe is invisible yet generates visible effects. This metaphor is rooted in the separation between interface and algorithm, and the distinction between what can be seen and not seen. By exploring this relationship, Chun sheds light on the ways in which technology shapes our understanding of reality. Through a nuanced analysis of software as a guiding metaphor, "Programmed Visions" offers a fresh perspective on the impact of new media on our society.
