The duality (whether mutually exclusive or complementary) between paper and screen can be summarised in a cyberpunk metaphor: paper is flesh, screen is metal. What we’re dealing with here is a transitional medium, with constantly mutating hybrid characteristics. Paper and pixel complement each other, even as they compete with one another. They need each other to survive, though they both may have good reasons for ‘feeling superior’ to the other. Digital media relies on the long experience of print in the fields of layout and content management. And print has much to gain from digital media’s atomisation of content, with its endless possibilities of indexing and searching. Flesh and metal will thus merge as in a cyberpunk film, hopefully spawning useful new models for carrying and spreading unprecedented amounts of information and culture. — Alessandro Ludovico (2012).
