The concept of a continuous "now" presented through streaming data obscures the underlying logic of digital networks which operate through absence and presence of data transmission rather than a true stream. 3. An accurate understanding of temporality in digital culture requires considering how code interactions reconfigure notions of time and the multiple realities exhibited by different logics, rhythms, pauses and timescales across sites.
