Ebook: Smartphone-Ästhetik: Zur Philosophie und Gestaltung mobiler Medien

Mobile phone, PC, AV player, radio, web browser - a diverse range of media content and platforms converge in the smartphone. The basis for this is inevitably formed by media technological forms of production. Then there are the design implications - such as the user interface design or interactive apps - which produce their visual appearance through their interaction with the upstream, 'invisible' technology. The aesthetics of smartphones themselves, however - understood as the possibility of their perception as media - has so far not been examined. The volume takes on this desideratum from a transdisciplinary perspective for the first time.
