Digital Monumentality in/for Public Spaces

Aim of this paper is to discuss the paradigmatic changes in the conception and production of ”monumentality” through the transition from analog to digital forms of communication, design and production. Before looking for a correspondence to “monumentality” in the digital era, the basic concepts that define “monumentality” like aesthetics & public space will be theorized and discussed briefly. We will be questioning via examples, whether the classical conception and production of the “monument” still pursues in the digital era or if the digital revolution is able to alter the chemistry of it.
