Abstract

Ethics, and its articulation in moral conducts, is not existed in a vacuum, sterile or fixed human world, but a subject of ‘reformulation’ or even ‘redefinition’, as the result of a certain socio-cultural transformation. The development of a global information-digital culture has in a certain intensity affected the perception, understanding and practice of ethics itself as a moral standard. One of the main character of this culture is its ‘artificiality’, through which human communication and interaction is no longer performed on a ‘face-to-face basis, but on a technological mediated one. The consequence is a ‘cultural distanciation’, in which perception is separated from experience, body is separated from message. Another consequence is the ‘transparency’ at an ethical level, in which several ethical boundaries are deconstructed: good/bad, proper/improper. A community ethics is one of today’s ethical problem, in which a ‘commonality’ is no longer constructed based on conventional social bonds, but on more artificial bonds: solitude, rejection, helplessness. Friendship in the digital world is another ‘strange’ development of moral conduct, in which a great numbers of friends is just an affirmation of one’s solitude. As the result, connection—as main pilar in the architecture of our contemporary life—has taken us along a cultural contradiction: it mediates, but at the same time dissociates our cultural experience.

Abstract

Fluidity and ubiquity are two fundamental principles of our contemporary world, representing new ways of perceiving, thinking, experiencing, organising, and creating various aspects of our present world. These principles have radically transformed models of economic exchanges, industrial production, social relations, cultural representations, and aesthetic expressions. Fluidity serves as a philosophical antithesis to the modern rigid, stratified, and binary worldview, celebrating a fluid, non-stratified, and non-binary perspective driven by dynamic flow, flux, and connectivity. On the other hand, ubiquity defines our present world of objects, which are created through augmented and mixed reality, giving them the property of being present anywhere and everywhere. Both fluidity and ubiquity serve as contemporary models for generating disruptive ideas, forms, styles, products, organisations, and systems. Fluidity represents the fluid-creative organisation of physical, social, cultural, and aesthetic elements, independent of binary structures, while ubiquity represents the transformation of objects from the virtual to the trans-material.
