ABSTRACT
The concept of the sublime, applied to experiences of technologically mediated or digital culture, raises multiple questions that go beyond the redefinition of the sublime itself. On the one hand, the sublime is applied to certain phenomena of digital culture such as: the autopoetic, generative qualities of code. The concept of the techno-sublime should not be limited by its application to modern technologies but should be seen as an independent phenomenon that has to do with the inherent potential of a thing and the possibility of its actualization. Thinking of the sublime through its relationship to technology has deep historical roots. The techno-sublime provokes a special tension between the contemplative and active modes of human consciousness that also has an ethical dimension. One of the specificities of the technological sublime is that it utilizes the capacity of biofeedback tracking to engage the human perception at the visceral and micro-temporal level.
