<nettime> Infopolitics by Colin Koopman |
Colin Koopman (a philosopher at the U of Oregon) has an excellent piece in the NY Times on "infopolitics." http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/01/26/the-age-of-infopolitics/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0 "We like to think of ourselves as somehow apart from all this information. We are real --- the information is merely /about/ us. But what is it that is real? What would be left of you if someone took away all your numbers, cards, accounts, dossiers and other informational prostheses? Information is not just /about/ you --- it also /constitutes /who you are." - Rob Gehl # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@kein.org
