How can digital objects be understood according to individualization and individuation? Yuk Hui creates a dialogue between Martin Heidegger and Gilbert Simondon and contextualizes it within the history of computing. Interdisciplinary in philosophical and technical insights, Hui's work develops an original, productive way of thinking about the data and metadata that increasingly define our world.
