Digital estetikk hos Max Bense og Inger Christensen

• This article examines the concept of digital poetry by the German philosopher and cybernetician Max Bense, and operationalizes it in a reading of the Danish novel Azorno (1967) by Inger Christensen. It suggests that Bense’s concept of digital poetry catches a part of the philosophical zeitgeist of the era. It expresses an idea of a doubled sense of reality – a technical reality – propelled by the mediatechnological condition of the early Information Age. This double sense of reality is traceable in Azorno, and the novel is thus read as a work of literature that both is a product of and a reflection upon the changing mediatechnological conditions in the postwar years.
