N2 - The article questions the two dominant views on media aesthetics – one takes the empiricist stance,and the other pushes forwards a media-technological a priori – in order to posit a third view. Thisview is transcendental empiricism, which one can trace in the work of Gilbert Simondon and GillesDeleuze. This article demonstrates this argument with the example of digital objects – the new formof industrial objects composed of data and metadata – and proposes to investigate their aesthetics byarticulating three logical operators – induction, deduction and transduction – as correlations to thethree views mentioned above.
