“Ive been thinking a lot lately about the relationship between objects and activities. Its something obviously affected by digitally-enabled multi-functionality. The digital object doesnt so much have ‘a function’ as a series of functions under an umbrella of one or two metafunctions to wit, ‘this device is what I use to keep up to date’ or ‘my tablet is what I use to read everything from the news to novels.’ The association between object and function that was often one-to-one has become multiplied, perhaps receding into infinity (what, really, is the limit of what you can do with your iPhone?)”
