About this title

Synopsis

In digital media culture, we constantly interact with interfaces: they are so ubiquitous and everyday that they often don't notice them, but they have a unique agency. Sabine Wirth takes the mediation performance of user interfaces in its historical genesis in view and develops a theorisation offer for the everyday conditions of man and computer from a media cultural science perspective. Based on the examination of the history of personal computing and its increasing resolution, it shows the particular importance of user interfaces as concrete media environments in the context of larger dispositives.
