Jon Hoem's book is highly topical, and a long-awaited and important contribution that opens up new understandings, perspectives and opportunities related to digital media and materiality. Hoem highlights various existing views and horizons of understanding that we can use to approach materiality. It is not only the physical environment and the materials we have around us that have a materiality that can be sensed and experienced. Hoem asks important questions such as: What happens when the basic conditions for how we sense change, and how do we sense the intangible? The interplay between materials, digital technologies and people - and the creative action possibilities that lie in this link field, is one of the most central things about the book. Hoem goes into detail both on how we can understand digital materiality as an expression and as various forms of representation.
