Contingent Computation
Book • 2018
In Contingent Computation, M. Beatrice Fazi examines the philosophical and aesthetic dimensions of computation, arguing that abstraction and indeterminacy are central to computational practice and experience.
The book interrogates how computational systems mediate perception and aesthetic judgment, and how contingent factors influence computational outcomes.
Fazi draws on case studies from digital art and algorithmic media to show the limits of deterministic accounts of computation.
She proposes a framework that recognizes the openness and variability inherent in computational processes.
The work situates computational aesthetics within broader debates about representation, agency, and the theory of technology.
