由于难以解释感觉的连续性与数字技术的离散性之间的本体论差异，计算的美学研究陷入了僵局。本文提出了一个理论立场，旨在克服这一僵局。它强调了本体论的重点连续性已进入媒体研究通过阅读德勒兹，试图建立一个“数字aisthesis”（即数字感觉理论）归因于“虚拟性”的计算。这在一定程度上支持了数字理论中的情感转向。与这种立场相反，本文主张重新概念化的形式抽象的计算，为了找到，在离散的计算形式主义（而不是通过后者与虚拟感觉的耦合），一个不确定性，这将使计算美学qua固有的生成。这种不确定性，它是在这里争论，可以通过重新考虑，批判性地，图灵的“不可计算性”的概念。
Aesthetic investigations of computation are stuck in an impasse, caused by the difficulty of accounting for the ontological discrepancy between the continuity of sensation and the discreteness of digital technology. This article proposes a theoretical position intended to overcome that deadlock. It highlights how an ontological focus on continuity has entered media studies via readings of Deleuze, which attempt to build a ‘digital aisthesis’ (that is, a theory of digital sensation) by ascribing a ‘virtuality’ to computation. This underpins, in part, the affective turn in digital theory. In contrast to such positions, this article argues for a reconceptualization of formal abstraction in computation, in order to find, within the discreteness of computational formalisms (and not via the coupling of the latter with virtual sensation), an indeterminacy that would make computing aesthetic qua inherently generative. This indeterminacy, it is argued here, can be found by reconsidering, philosophically, Turing’s notion of ‘incomputability’.
