In Issue 02 of See/Saw, this essay unpacks the often-misused term, "post-digital" using three fictional elements of architecture that are inseparable from the media used to represent them. Issue 2 is themed "difference," a term that describes a quality that many would claim typical post-digital projects lack. Indeed, if the post-digital is merely a collage aesthetic rendered with vibrant pastel color palette, criticism of what ammounds to nothing more than a passing trend is warranted. The essay argues, on the contrary, that the post-digital as defined by John Maeda captures not an aesthetic, but an earnest and optimistic future for computational design that looks deep into the domain of the digital to find an abundance of difference—if and only if our contribution goes beyond being digital (or looking non-digital).
