The digital as we understand it today is incompatible with the concept of aesthetic experience. Numerous scholars have identified this incompatibility as the primary conceptual problem that must be addressed by the theory of digital aesthetics. "The Page in the Screen" provides a solution to this problem in the form of a reconceptualization of the digital image. The dissertation begins with a reading of Deleuze's The Time-Image that culminates in a re-imagining of the digital image as an information-graphical image. I provide a historical account that shows how this digital-qua-infographic image transformed the moving images that we interact with on a daily basis. Infographics had a small and circumscribed place in the visual architecture of pre-war screens; they began to completely restructure the screen in the 1940s, beginning with the infographic innovations of the first television news broadcasts. The fact that television played such a large role in the proliferation of infographics underscores one of the major contentions of my theory of the digital image, which is that this image is a digital technology in its own right and not reducible to the phenomenal manifestation of digital processes carried out by computers. Finally, I present a theory of the infographic image based in the writings of C.S. Peirce and Jacques Bertin in order to show that the infographic image and the moving image have incongruous ways of organizing time and space. This incongruity results in a paradox when the two images become integrated in the digital age. In the end, I argue that this paradox is the site where the digital and the aesthetic interface with one another.
