Following up on the historical avant-gardists who problematized the notion of writing and inscription, the authors find, in the computer, an instrument for formalization enabling a liberation of relations between signs and meaning. From the first texts generated by computer (Théo Lutz, Nanni Baslestrini) to animated digital poetry, from hypertext to multiple Internet experiments, today new forms of writing and reading question text and literature in the era of hypermedia.

Beginning in the 80s, continuing the pioneering work of the engineers Pierre Bézier and William Fetter for industry, the apparition of programs like Form Z and Catia were the basis for the understanding of digital morphologies initiated by architects such as Cédric Price, John Frazer, Peter Eisenman, Frank Gehry, and Greg Lynn. New processes of digital design creating original and revolutionary structures where multi-agent algorithms code geometry and topology via complex and variable functions.

The digital discretization of space based on pixels and voxels has led to a critical examination and radial modernism that opens a huge field for research and artistic expression, blurring scales and reorganizing forms from the infinitesimally small to the infinitely large. Digital creations materialize in an immersive space; equipped with interactive controls, they question the representation and writing of space and time, in both their visual and sonic components.
