I. Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By way of singularisation and culturalisation, postmodernism (from around the 1970s) displaces organised modernity as it had developed in the USA and Western Europe since the 1920s. This singularisation noted by Reckwitz can be seen in five units – namely in objects (artefacts, especially objects), in subjects, in spaces (places, cities, natural areas etc.) as well as in temporalities (events etc.) and in collectives. They are activated and claimed by social practices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reckwitz emphasises three drivers of singularisation: the socio-cultural authenticity revolution, the post-industrial cultural capitalism revolution and the mathematical-technological digital revolution. The following is about the latter revolution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The mathematically-based technology revolution (digital transformation) is changing the relationship between man and machine.<\/strong> The machines of the digital revolution singularise and culturalise instead of deepening the routines of the social logic of the general; they provoke and produce above all individual and social patterns of uniqueness. <\/i>In this sense, the digitalising machines do not simply perform, but design, enable and observe performances of the particular.<\/p>\n

II The thrust of the digital transformation\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The digital transformation is transforming social life, not just working and organisational life, but social and individual life as a whole. Three directions are recognisable:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • (<\/span>Pattern) recognition machine<\/i><\/b><\/span>The core of digital transformation is to generate, process and visualise data and information, which in turn has an overall effect on human actions and decisions. Action and impact, measurement and feedback as well as adaptation and influence can be tracked in practically real time. Even the expectation of measurement and feedback influences the initial action.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Disaster machine<\/i><\/span>Digital transformation is a catastrophe for the established social routines (Nasehi) – very similar to the printing press for the medieval tradition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • Culture machine<\/i><\/span>The technologies of the digital network support the logic of the particular by singularising because they provoke and establish uniqueness. Visibility through performance is establishing itself across the board. <\/i>This is the fundamental breaking point in the technologies of the 1st and 2nd machine age.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>
