This is an umbrella term for those areas of creative practice and research concerned with the degree to which current electroacoustic practice might be considered in terms of responses to specifically digital technologies. These digitial technologies include means of dissemination as well as production, and indeed those which blur the distinction between the two. The term generally implies post-modern modes of thinking as well as a clear ideological positioning in contrast to those in the analogue (i.e. frequently modernist) world.

C'est le terme générique pour désigner les domaines de la création et de la recherche artistique dans lesquelles la pratique électroacoustique actuelle pourrait être considérée comme un exemple spécifique d'utilisation des technologies numériques. Ces technologies comprennent aussi bien les moyens de diffusion que ceux de production ce qui brouille la distinction entre ces deux pratiques. De plus, l'esthétique numérique implique généralement des modes de pensée postmodernes mais aussi un positionnement idéologique clair en opposition avec le monde analogique (c'est-à-dire moderniste).

Il termine genericamente implica metodi di pensiero post moderni, come pure una posizione ideologica chiara in contrasto con il pensiero analogico.
