Exploring where animality meets digital media in the shadow of climate crisis Digital Animalities is a groundbreaking investigation into the entanglements of animal life, media infrastructures, and digital technologies in a time of environmental precarity and digital saturation. Revealing the digital as a dynamic site where animal agency and technological systems collide, the contributors eschew simplistic binaries to emphasize complex mediations between animals and digital media. From wildlife camera traps and virtual zoos to gaming environments and animation tools, these essays explore how animals are captured, played with, and consumed through digital technologies, elaborating their agency in these mediations of ecological and biopolitical processes. Rethinking animality as a fluid and contested terrain shaped by climate change, extinction pressures, and emerging ecopolitical paradigms, Digital Animalities shifts how we consider the impact of the digital on sentient lives and their futures.
