'Digital Theory' Panel Discussion: Is Theory Itself Digital? (Fazi, Galloway, Weatherby, Handleman)

In this free public panel hosted by the Acid Horizon Research Commons, we discuss Digital Theory (University of Minnesota Press) with contributors Alexander R. Galloway, M. Beatrice Fazi, Matthew Handelman, and Leif Weatherby. The conversation reframes the digital not as consumer technology but as a fundamental mode of mediation grounded in discreteness. We explore the provocative claim that theory itself is digital, and that digitality precedes contemporary computation. The panel revisits structuralism, number, abstraction, and dialectics to rethink the relationship between logic and representation. Throughout, the discussion challenges nostalgic appeals to the analog and asks what it means to think from within a digital ontological condition.
