«There is this hacker slogan: “We love your computer.”
We also get inside people's computers.
And we are honored to be in somebody's computer.
You are very close to a person when you are on his desktop.» Jodi, 1997
This book is a collection of texts written by Domenico Quaranta between 2005 and 2010 for exhibition catalogues, printed magazines and online reviews: a pocket version of what the author would save from the universal flood, in a world without computers. Most of the fields of research he has developed are represented: from Net Art to Software Art and videogames, from biotechnologies to the debate around curating and the positioning of New Media Art in the contemporary landscape, and back to Net Art again.
