Digital artistic objetcts in the face of mediation and interaction processes

Abstract

In this article, we seek to think of digital artistic objects as mediators between subjects and means, based on two philosophers who, in different ways, treat reality in a relational and procedural way. For Gilbert Simondon, techno-aesthetic objects have the role of mediating worlds and transforming collective relations, being understood from an ontogenetic approach that does not dissociate culture, technology and nature. Charles S. Peirce also assesses the complexity of the world from the perspective of different aspects that go beyond the human. In his Semiotic Theory, we find the “abductive, inductive and deductive” logical inferences associated with complex systems. In fact, these philosophers lead us to reflect on the relationships between technologies, living organisms, nature and complex environmental and cultural systems. Thus, we understand that digital artistic objects are defined and define their associated environment, as well as being configured in processes of mediation and interaction.
