"Analogue" and "digital".

Abstract

The proliferation of digital media across professional disciplines, and the increasing embedding of digital media invisibly within architecture, artefacts and human beings indicates both that the unification of digital aesthetics around any core group of properties is decreasingly likely, and that the specificity of the digital may decline as digital media are more and more embedded in the landscapes of everyday work, transport, housework and education. Alternatively, this embedding process may herald the end of aesthetics as a preserve of leisure (‘disinterested’) activities.
