Abstract
Computers and their networks are drastically changing our everyday lives. In this article, I focus on how this change affects the field of everyday aesthetics. I address my theme in four steps and ask: how could present and future developments affect, first, the creation of everyday aesthetic phenomena; second, aesthetic phenomena themselves; and third, the perception and evaluation of aesthetic phenomena? Lastly, if remarkable changes happen in all or some of these, how could that affect aesthetics as an academic discipline?
