Postdigital synchronicity and syntopy: the manipulation of universal codes, and the fully automated avantgarde.

In recent years, the use of new (both linguistic and non-linguistic) literary codes has accelerated due to the global technological intermediations between writers, scientists and artists, and to the increase and diversification of human-machine interactions. The new codes emerging from this new set of global interactions are often re-interpretations of literary and artistic methods and devices developed by modern and postmodern avangardist movements; however, they present some new interesting features when expanding through postdigital environments, where a novel universe of data/symbols are manipulated by a variety of human-machine assemblages with different modes of implication in performance-driven collaborative arrangements. This article critically reviews and reflects on literary works entering and exploring this postdigital space by using innovative art/writing codes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
