Abstract

THIS INTERVIEW with Friedrich Kittler and Mark Hansen was conducted at the University of Tokyo on 14 July 2007 – a day after Friedrich Kittler’s plenary address ‘Ontology of the Media’ and two days before Mark Hansen’s plenary paper ‘The Diachronic Thing’. The focus of the conversation is the absence of media in classical ontology. This, in turn, informs reflection on a range of contemporary issues, including: the connection of digital and analogue systems, the future of numbers in an age of high computation, and the cultural and linguistic specificity of ontological thought.
