  • Digital Transition Podcast - Episode 1: Yuk Hui
    Hong Kong University and Erasmus Rotterdam University
    Transformations driven by digital technologies and the emergence of new tools are increasing with each passing decade, even if the newness of new media seems to have faded. Amid a lingering post-historical atmosphere, diffuse uncertainty, and the looming threat of extinctions, the certainty of digital transformation and the AI revolution stands out as an inescapable dimension of the future and one of its most crucial determinations. In this context, the notion of “digital transition” becomes more telling than ever, conveying a sense of disruption as well as of inevitability, blending new evolutionist narratives with the design of the artificial.
    The “Digital Transition” Podcast aims to tackle some of the key issues of this transformative era, understand the digital ecology that is taking shape and contribute to the necessary shifts in our critical agency and thinking.

    YUK HUI is a Professor at Erasmus University, Rotterdam (Chair of Human Conditions), and at the University of Hong Kong. He studied computer engineering at the University of Hong Kong, earned his Ph.D. in the philosophy of technology at Goldsmiths, University of London, under the supervision of Bernard Stiegler, and completed his Habilitation at Leuphana University (Germany).
    With a prolific and impactful body of work, Yuk Hui is among the most significant contemporary thinkers in the fields of culture, technology, epistemology, politics, and art. Addressing topics such as the digital and cybernetics, art and technique, the political subject, and sovereignty, he has introduced groundbreaking concepts such as cosmotechnics, technodiversity, and art as epistemic revolution. While reviving critical debates and foundational authors of Western thought in contemporary culture, he has also brought forward alternative epistemologies and non-Western cosmologies.
    His published works include: On the Existence of Digital Objects (2016), The Question Concerning Technology in China: An Essay in Cosmotechnics (2016), Recursivity and Contingency (2019), Art and Cosmotechnics (2021), and Machine and Sovereignty (forthcoming, 2024).
