In this essay, Jussi Parikka, writer and professor in digital aesthetics and culture at Aarhus University, explores the concept of scale. He argues that nothing actually works on the 1:1 scale, so we needn’t be simplistic about scale. Digital culture has exploded the multipel meanings and practices of scales which consist both of the 'how many' question (a billion sensors, a million images, a thousand clicks, infinite loops of automated software) and of the 'what now' question. So be it: digital culture is fundamentally about the mass scale that schifts the focus of this and there, of cognitive and territorial maps, and of our sense of where they belong as cultural categories give way to operational data categories.
