How the Digital Experience Changes Our Relationships with Others: An Introduction to the Phenomenotechnics of Otherness - 2014.

How does the digital experience change our relationships with others? How is our difference from others manifested, in our age of digital artefacts? In this article, we look into artefacts in general as phenomena offered up to our conscious perception, starting from the principle that the manifestation of being (ontophany), and therefore of perception, is a process that is always conditioned a priori by technical factors. This means considering that otherness itself, in actual experience, is already, and always, a technical phenomenon, or at least that it is technically conditioned and structured. While the Other is not a datum created by technology, it is nevertheless brought to us by the techno-perceptual environment in which we live. In our new digital environment, the manifestation of otherness, or allophany, has taken on a new and singular shape that, in terms of phenomenology, is transforming our experience of the presence of Others, of which one of the most significant manifestations is their online presence as friends.
