This paper is intended as an accompaniment to digital artworks, and forms a concise outline of the practical and theoretical elements of my research into digital processes.It begins by describing the processes used to create the artworks, then the scientific paradigm shift from which these processes are derived. This new kind of science begins with or leads to the question, 'What if space and time are digital?' My research prompted a reassessment of the meaning of 'digital', which in turn re-defined the potential 'digital media' and, therefore, what may be called 'digital art'.Lastly, it is shown that this new science relates to the older field of Process Philosophy. That these fields share an emphasis on the importance of the concepts of time, change and process can be seen as supporting evidence for Jean Gebser's model of evolutionary consciousness. This model enables cohesion of the scientific ideas and is the context in which the artworks were conceived.
