[materialist approaches] embrace both the material substrates and
abstract of programming languages required for data storage,
processing and exchange: code, hardware devices, operating
systems, software, applications, platforms, interfaces, documents,
file formats as well as networking protocols and infrastructure.

Life and Death in Software
This document summarizes a presentation by Winnie Soon on the temporality of code interactions. It discusses how materialist approaches consider both the material and abstract aspects of programming, including code, hardware, software and networking protocols. It also presents some of Soon's projects that explore the temporality of digital interactions, such as through progress bars, data packets, and buffers. Finally, it discusses how the network structure of communication channels involves packetized data rather than a direct stream, and how this impacts our understanding of digital culture.

- 18. AARHUS UNIVERSITETAU The network structureof today’s communication channels and of their information stream is often understood as providing a direct connection between users and services or between two communication partners, even though there cannot be any direct connections on digital networks. The metaphor of the flow conceals the fact that, technically, what is taking place is quite the opposite. There is no stream in digital networks. (Sprenger, 2015, pp. 88-89, my emphasis)
