ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the emerging genre of digital biography, in which the stable subject is replaced by the notion of the self as a database—a network of relations, not reducible to a single biographical truth. The analysis focuses on David Clark's 88 Constellations for Wittgenstein: to be played by the Left Hand (2008)—an interactive biography of the Austrian philosopher in the form of 88 animations. Clark’s ambition is not to propose a new biographical perspective or narrative but to assert the plurality of his subject and to forge surprising connections between Wittgenstein’s legacy and famous cultural figures, works and events.
