one <--> zero

Of course the bold has always been a simultaneity of most different spaces and times […] what is unprecedented about today’s situation is the fact that computers simultaneously occupy two times and two spaces thereby synchronising them: The macrodimension of perception and language on the one hand, the microdimension of the electronic circuits on the other. Like a tunnel into the invisibly small, they connect the laws of matter with those of our cultures. Like a fury of disappearance that, reemerging from its void, permits the possibility that presence and absence, one and zero, may play with each other. That is what is new about new media.

la ciudad como texto

La ciudad como texto, como signos e inscripciones realizadas por los humanos en el espacio, de modo que los usuarios, los que atraviesan la ciudad, se podrían ver como lectores de poemas.

the masses “want this stuff”

The promoters of commercialized entertainment exonerate themselves by referring to the fact that they are giving the masses what they want. This is an ideology appropriate to commercial purposes: the less the mass discriminates, the greater the possibility of selling cultural commodities indiscriminately. Yet this ideology of vested interest cannot be dismissed so easily. It is not possible completely to deny that mass consciousness can be molded by the operative agencies only because the masses “want this stuff.”
