Postdigital Lunch 01: Postdigital Theory

What does it mean to be living, researching and participating in a postdigital age, under postdigital conditions? The concept of the postdigital has emerged over recent years as a way of describing and analysing a world in which it no longer makes sense to speak of separate online and offline spaces. Instead, the postdigital names a world in which the digital is threaded throughout our lives. In the first „Postdigital Lunch“, organised by the Leibniz ScienceCampus – Postdigital Participation – Braunschweig, two leading thinkers on postdigital theory share their thoughts on the concept, reflecting on some of their previous publications and current projects.
