ABSTRACT
This chapter explores postdigital relationships between the media ecology of digital and Hebraic writing through autoethnographic blogging. It presents a speculative view of the new media that hosts digital writing in relation to an ancient tradition that forms the roots of contemporary Hebrew writing and rhetoric. The chapter analyzes an exemplary postdigital artwork in the form an autoethnographic blogart project that turns the ancient biblical narrative into a mirror in which people can see themselves. The millennia-old tradition for writing the biblical narrative is echoed in the structure of digital media. The biblical narrative offers us an image of the ultimate deconstruction of a text and its reconstruction at different levels of consciousness. The biblical words for angel and food are written with the same four letters to tell us that angels are spiritual messages arising from everyday life. Digital writing invites play in earnest that creates opportunities for popular participation and alternative viewpoints.
