Walter Benjamin in his essay ?The Author as Producer', written in<br />1934, recommends that the ?cultural producer¹ intervene in the production<br />process in the manner of an engineer. The term ?engineer¹ is to be taken<br />broadly to refer to technical and cultural activity, through the application<br />of knowledge for the management, control and use of power. To act as an<br />engineer in this sense, is to use power productively to bring about change<br />and for public utility. This collection of essays and examples of<br />contemporary cultural practices asks if this general line of thinking<br />retains relevance for cultural production at this point in time - when<br />activities of production, consumption and circulation operate through<br />complex global networks served by information technologies.<br /><br />Contributors:<br />The Institute for Applied Autonomy | Josephine Berry-Slater | William Bowles<br />| Bureau of Inverse Technology | Nick Dyer-Witheford | etoy | Matthew Fuller<br />| George Grinsted | Harwood | Jaromil | Armin Medosch | Raqs Media<br />Collective | Redundant Technology Initiative | Pit Schultz<br /><br />For more information see <<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.data-browser.net/02/">http://www.data-browser.net/02/</a>><br /><br />The DATA browser series presents critical texts that explore issues at the<br />intersection of culture and technology.

One Free Minute<br />relies on a sculptural object that looks like one of those tabletop vintage<br />record players. This project is about public discourse, and the ways in<br />which it has been affected by technology. It turns the private world of the<br />cell phone up on its head, and adds an element of 'free speech'.

I am not so much<br />interested in working within the medium "computer" - It is more about<br />generating complex installations in which data processing is just one part<br />among others. In most of my pieces I try to avoid standard user interfaces:<br />the 3:4 computer screen; mouse; keyboard; and, including underlying<br />operating systems, as I feel limited by them. In fact, I don't like personal<br />computers, but I do like circuits.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://netartreview.net/index.php">http://netartreview.net/index.php</a><br /><br />FEATURE.REVIEW: <br />Action = to activate the image<br />BY Ana Valdés<br /><br />Actions are based on response and collaboration.
