What matters in understanding digital media? Is looking at the external appearanceand audience experience of software enoughor should we look further? In ExpressiveProcessing, Noah WardripFruin argues that understanding what goes on beneath the surface,the computational processes that make digital media function, is essential.WardripFruin looks at 'expressive processing' by examining specificworks of digital media ranging from the simulated therapist Eliza to the complexcityplanning game SimCity. Digital media, he contends, offer particularlyintelligible examples of things we need to understand about software in general; if we understand,for instance, the capabilities and histories of artificial intelligence techniques in the context ofa computer game, we can use that understanding to judge the use of similar techniques in suchhigherstakes social contexts as surveillance.
