From Burning Chrome To Spook Country




cyberspace is every-
where now, having
everted and colonized the
world. It starts to sound
kind of ridiculous to speak
of cyberspace as being
somewhere
else... (2014)
a consensual halluci-
nation experienced daily
by billions of legitimate
operators, in every
nation! a graphic
representation of data
abstracted from the banks
of every pc... (1984)of

Digital Realism (Space, Time, Agency, Datum)




Computation and Space
Code/space occurs when software and
the spatiality of everyday life become
mutually constituted, that is, produced
through one another. Here, spatiality is
the product of code and the code exists
primarily in order to produce a particular
spatiality (Code/Space).

Filled by code, digitality, sensors and
devices, space is always in a state
of becoming. Think at the space
ontogenetically, not ontologically.
Space is spacing and transduction is
the continuous process of production
and emergence of modulations of
sociospatial practices. Space is not
noun, but is a verb: space is spacing
(Code/Space).

Such a sensor has become
increasingly useful because dairy cows
under stress to produce ever-greater
amounts of milk are these days
showing fewer signs of being in heat -
making it harder for farmers to judge
the right moment for conception.
Sensor is implanted deep in the
genital of the animal !
You want to put your sensor *where*?!!!

Big Data: N=All, T=0
Sensor networks have also been
described as a revolution in
scientific instrumentation, similar to
the telescope and microscope,
where a new order of insights might
be realized. Sensor networks are
seen to operate as macroscopes
which enable a new way to
perceive complex interactions
through the high density and
resolution of temporal and spatial
monitoring data
