From CONTENT to DATA

Where did you put your typewriter? (A shibboleth...)

In one generation, we have moved from indelible marks to impulses and flows; from unique objects to proliferating copies.

CONTENT signifies WITH-HOLDING. DATA signifies GIVING.

  • Giving out: data desire a network;

  • Giving in: data are fundamentally subject to process, logic, machine;

  • Giving back: the play of data can re-shape the machine.

Ever feel like giving up?
