A doctoral thesis at Universidad de Palermo that uses Gilbert Simondon's theory of individuation to rethink digital design and fabrication, arguing that the traditional model of a designer's intention simply imposing form on matter cannot account for how digital design tools and processes actually operate.
This doctoral thesis in Design, defended by Flavio Bevilacqua at Universidad de Palermo (director: Andres Pablo Vaccari), examines digital design and fabrication through Gilbert Simondon's theory of individuation. Bevilacqua argues that the traditional hylomorphic-intentionalist model of design, in which a designer's intention simply imposes form on inert matter, is insufficient to account for what actually happens in digital design and fabrication processes. He proposes that Simondon's theory of individuation, which treats form-taking as an ongoing operation rather than a one-off imposition, offers better resources for thinking about design outside the hylomorphic scheme, including how new digital technologies participate in that operation.
