Biodigitalism is a concept in the post-digital society proposed by Ryota Matsumoto, a sociologist, architect, and professor of Transart Studies at the University of Plymouth, who examines the creation of monads as variously subdivided immaterial natures and the immanence of intersubjectivity theory based on the speculative ・ realism and neuro ・ capitalism theories. The concept of the monad in the post-digital society is advocated by Ryota Matsumoto, a sociologist, architect, and professor of Transart Studies at Plymouth University. Moving beyond the anthropocentric, relativist origins of traditional art, Yoshitaka Matsumoto presents a visual culture that emphasizes an alternative sensibility through the interaction of hybrid objects as a non-existent turn.
