my standpoint in this book is that the shift from film to digital involves more than substituting one technological platform for another. instead of a more pliable system used to produce identical movies, i see digital as a polymorphous organism, the fruit of distinct technologies merging in an unexpected way: video, the computer, the web, the smart phone, social networking, etc. this heterogeneity in turn makes it possible to think beyond all we presently take for granted when talking about film. in short it lays the groundwork for a new art form.
