Bringing together philosophies of the maternal with digital technology may appear to be an arbitrary pairing. However, when we read them intertextually through select creative practices, we can see how both encompass an aesthetics of interruption that becomes a novel means of understanding subjectivity.
EL Putnam delves into how the digital performances of certain artists, creators, and technologists rupture existing representations of the maternal, taking advantage of the formal properties of digital media. What emerges are interruptions of visual and aural constructions through an immanent merging of the performing body with digital technologies.
Putnam bases her analysis on close examinations of the way certain makers use the formal properties of digital imagery, such as the gap, the glitch, and the lag, as means of rendering images of the maternal uncanny in order to challenge mediation. This constitutes an aesthetics of interruption, resulting in a radical critical strategy for engaging with digital technology and subsequent understandings of the subject that defy current modes of assimilation.
Through this intertextual exploration, we gain a deeper appreciation of the ways in which digital technology can be used to challenge and transform our understanding of the maternal. By embracing an aesthetics of interruption, we can create new ways of engaging with and interpreting the digital world, ultimately leading to a more nuanced and complex understanding of subjectivity in the 21st century.
