Automaton is a scientific journal of digital media and culture which aspires to be a field of critical interdisciplinary approaches to the cultural transformations occurring in the 21st century in Greece and the world. Its main orientation is to investigate the role of bioinformatics and technosocial media in social relations, the construction of the body, work and leisure, politics, and the planetary shifts in environment and governance. The point of reference is digital media, and in particular the impact of the (inter-)mediation of the physical and social world by information systems.
