Marc Bousquet // Manovich, There is Only Software
Media Studies 208, Emory University
Digital Media and
Culture
o What are the consequences of describing contemporary
media by the single term “digital”? Are there alternatives?
o How does Manovich’s view contrast with Murray’s?
o Manovich points out that the “properties” of digital media
depend on the software used to interact with it, so the
notion of “affordances” is properly addressed to the
program used to interact a digital artifact. This questions
the whole project of defining the properties of “the digital.”
