Looking at Digital Art Towards a Visual Methodology for Digital Sociology

Written By domingo, 8 de mayo de 2022 Add Comment Edit

Abstruse

Over the last decade there has been a call for a new kind of sociological gaze, a digital sociology for a digital historic period. Has there been fundamental change in the key principles, the nature, and functions of social life in a digital age? In social and cultural theory, there is a long history of looking at how technology transforms art. In this article, I will use the medium of digital fine art to consider the unique nature of the digital historic period, the demand for a digital sociology, and the interrelated speculative imagination of such claims. Broadly situated within the sociology of fine art the methodological contribution of this commodity is to offer an analysis of artworks themselves, via the structure of a digital visual methodology. What digital culture, politics, and revealed in digital art? How can looking at digital art aggrandize the tools for understanding digitally mediated lives?
