Inhalt: Content In the digital age, the task of constructing reality is significantly performed through digital plateaus constituted by particular elements and languages. These characteristics are new: communication platforms such as Facebook, automated interactions in the everyday life through artificial intelligence, and algorithms that measure and target our responses while generating tailored social narratives (as in, for instance, the “big data” scandal of Cambridge Analytica), did not exist prior to the digital revolution. Media sociologists, who in the past studied thoroughly traditional media such as television and the press (as exemplified in Pierre Bourdieu’s monograph “On Television”, 1998), are faced with the challenge of addressing the new institutions associated with media in the digital age that take the power to define political and social reality. Nick Couldry’s focus on media and communications, culture and power, and social theory, applied to digital media, is particularly interesting in this regard. As a metalinguistic and empirical form of philosophy, contemporary art is a medium which proves to be substantial in the analysis of digital media in relation to reality construction. Contemporary artists such as Hito Steyerl, Cecile B. Evans or Ed Atkins are producing work which reflects critically on the new digital plateaus in terms of language, power and new social rituals naturalised by technology, pondering strategies of resistance as well as ethical implications and new challenges of the governments as well as the civil societies in the current situation.
