Editing Postdigital (section)

== Theory ==
According to [[Giorgio Agamben]] (2002){{Citation needed|date=January 2025}}, the postdigital is a paradigm that (as with post-humanism) does not aim to describe a life ''after'' digital, but rather, attempts to describe the present-day opportunity to explore the consequences of the digital and of the computer age. While the computer age has enhanced human capacity with inviting and uncanny prosthetics, the postdigital provides a paradigm with which it is possible to examine and understand this enhancement.

In ''The Future of Art in a Postdigital Age,'' [[Mel Alexenberg]] defines "postdigital art" as artworks that address the humanization of digital technologies through interplay between digital, biological, cultural, and spiritual systems, between cyberspace and real space, between embodied media and mixed reality in social and physical communication, between [[high tech]] and [[High-touch|high touch]] experiences, between visual, haptic, auditory, and kinesthetic media experiences, between virtual and augmented reality, between roots and globalization, between autoethnography and community narrative, and between web-enabled peer-produced wikiart and artworks created with alternative media through participation, interaction, and collaboration in which the role of the artist is redefined, and between tactile art and NFTs. 
[[Mel Alexenberg]] proposes that a postdigital age is defined in ''Wired'' by MIT Media Center director [[Nicholas Negroponte]]: "Like air and drinking water, being digital will be noticed only in its absence, not by its presence. Face it - the Digital Revolution is over"
