'''Numerical Representation''', isrelates to the digital code representation of all new media objects thatas aredigital either created on computers or converted from analog media sourcescode. The term originates from [[Lev Manovich]]'s 2001 book [[The Language of New Media]].

Along with [[Modularity]], Numerical Representation renders "all media programmable." That is to say that new media objects are able to be described mathematically, and that new media objects are subject to algorithmic manipulation.
