At least they appear to share a similar structure. The digital is about creating discrete units of things. The digital requires the division of things; it has to separate something that is undivided and make it divided. As Laruelle has suggested, traditional metaphysics does the same thing. That\u2019s why artists and metaphysicians both talk about representation. Art is a \u201cphilosophical\u201d undertaking in this fundamental sense. <i>What I mean is that, if art is always world-bound \u2014 if art is a system of representation \u2014 then the artistic relation between an image and its original is analogous to the philosophical relation between body and soul or entity and essence.<\/i> That\u2019s the digital structure of metaphysics. So if traditional art is moving into a digital space, that might be the most natural thing it could do.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class='attribution'>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tripleampersand.org\/the-philosophical-origins-of-digitality\/\">The Philosophical Origins of Digitality &#8211; &amp;&amp;&amp; Journal&amp;&amp;&amp; Journal<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tmblr.co\/mKnveG5dQbogpBzNw8JJphg\">rafaelfajardo<\/a>: I added the italics above. That passage narrows Galloway\u2019s definition of Art to representation, to re-presentaion, to something that has some referent to some other thing in the world. So, Malevich\u2019s black square and Lissitsky\u2019s prouns and Judd\u2019s boxes and Reas\u2019s code drawings would fall outside this definition. I will need to read on to see if Galloway reconciles non-representational definitions of art with the one he has created for this argument.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Correa for &amp;&amp;&amp;: Alex, I\u2019m interested to see how philosophy as such has a certain take about the ways that more conventional art has been transcribed into the realm of the Internet; the vast majority of art is produced in an analogue way and thus becomes digital.
