Algorithmic harmonics show how technical systems tune relational fields, but human and symbolic dimensions remain central. Mythic interfaces emerge where narratives, symbols, and technologies intersect, shaping perception, action, and systemic coherence.
Symbols are not only transmitted through technology; they are embedded, transformed, and amplified by it. Technologies act as interfaces for collective imagination, co-structuring how relational resonance unfolds across social, ecological, and symbolic networks.
Key dynamics of mythic interfaces:
-
Embedded symbolism: Technology encodes, reproduces, and evolves narratives and values, influencing how systems perceive themselves.
-
Participatory co-construction: Human and technological agents jointly shape symbolic fields, creating hybrid patterns of resonance.
-
Systemic propagation: Interfaces mediate feedback across scales, allowing symbolic effects to influence local, planetary, and cosmological relational fields.
Examples:
-
Virtual environments that enable shared storytelling, shaping cultural imaginaries and social practices.
-
Scientific visualisation tools translating data into symbolic forms, guiding planetary-scale decisions.
-
Social media and collaborative platforms embedding norms, rituals, and ethical cues into technical infrastructures.
Through mythic interfaces, technology becomes a medium for participatory co-composition, linking narrative, symbol, and systemic resonance. The ethical and aesthetic implications are profound: we are not merely using technology; we are co-authoring the relational dynamics of our worlds, shaping what can emerge and persist.
Key move: from story as content to myth as interface; from human narrative to hybrid socio-technical resonance; from representation to relational co-composition.
