Subjects in Digits : the Quest for Human to Remain Human
Key Words : artificial intelligence,binary numbers,digitalisation,subjects,trans-alphabet
Abstract
Despite the seeming clarity of the notion of a “subject” in the field of language, arts, and other forms of representation, there does not seem to exist a clear cut between the producer and the interpreter of such representations. The need for a redefinition of a “subject” in the digital age, which has been extended to its extremes, is aroused by recalling what some of the definitions of a subject has been in the former ages in other forms of media. This paper is an attempt to unravel the notions of a subject that are present within some of the art productions in the digital age. This paper is an attempt to identify subjectivity in digital technology and eventually in artificial intelligence by revisiting the very basis of digital representations, the binary number system.
