Star Wars (my first taste of SciFi) and Google thrown together for fun
sometimes digital culture just feels like a lot of analogue text to me - it's rare to find good academic work presented visually and multimodally...
Underlying digital culture seems to be a broad reconsideration of established ideas about what it is to be human.
Seeing something almost recognised. Wanting to understand more. Facing seen & unseen striation. "Getting it" then wondering what I got. Unforeseen revelation.
The "Eyes" have it... participated in exhibit as part of "Ghosts of a Chance" at the Smithsonian in 2008 http://ghostsofachance.com
AI in Film - The Terminator - Discussion at the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2011
The socially transmitted habits and practices associated with the use of digital tools/media etc.
Communication - being so far from home social media, in its many forms, becomes so important.
Transforming (at least in theory)
If culture is shared traditions, values, arts etc within certain demographics then maybe digital cultures change the form and space of cultures
Talking of transforming... This is a collaborative virtual artwork I was involved in producing... Trans---~Formation

The digital culture is developing with some societies but happening to others
