ABSTRACT
The dynamic renderings of digital tools and platforms make it possible for humanities research to evolve from passive, text-based information systems to multisensory databases that actively relate to their users. Yet digital humanities remains largely subservient to the habitus of traditional scholarship, sometimes just replacing desks by desktops to uphold intellectual practices of the past, instead of exploring the transformational relations to knowledge implied by our technologised environments. This paper argues for empowering digital humanities with the critical energies of artistic experimentation, to more effectively engage with evolving computational resources.
