Description
Summary:Contemporary augmented spaces are situated in-between digital-analog, material-immaterial, online-offline, and real-virtual binaries. Relatedly, postdigital as a concept suggests that digital technologies are now integrated with almost all aspects of the individual and social atmosphere. Therefore, we should engage digitality through a critical approach by focusing on its intermingled situation. For this reason, reading augmented spaces with a postdigital perspective is essential to understanding and evaluating the potential of digital technologies in the context of the current line of vision. This paper aims to provide a better understanding of contemporary debates on digital technologies in the context of design. For this purpose, the article briefly reviews the definition of augmented space, and later postdigital as a concept is discussed with its fundamental characteristics. In what follows selected projects amongst the 2023 Media Architecture Biennale finalists are studied concerning the postdigital augmented spaces. As an outcome of this research, we suggest a conceptual framework that can be effective for the theory and practice of postdigital augmented spaces.
