Analog & Digital

Analog & Digital. We think we live in a digital age, but what is the digital? We think our lives and bodies are analog, but what is the analog? These distinctions shape us and our world, from the cell phones we talk on to the weight and sensation of our bodily experience, yet there is little concensus when it comes to the analog & digital.

We propose to create a collaborative exploration, definition, and debate about the analog & digital. We’ve already posted a provocative and important essay on the topic by writer and internet philosopher Alan Sondheim. We encourage your responses, either following Sondheim’s essay or striking off in new directions.

Spike onset? --sondheim, Mon, 11 Jul 2005 18:03:19 -0400 reply
Can anyone tell me the onset of the spike - if the onset devolves - if there is a limit to the devolution - i.e. substructures of spikes - ending at degree zero? Would an infinitely thin spike be audible? Recordable? Say something about the width.
