Why do I keep repeating myself? Bibliography
Essay for Felix, prompted by conversations with artist Joe McKay and philosopher Jan Zwicky, examines how integrated computer and electronic systems shape perception and behavior, citing examples such as mobile phones, pagers, bank machines, GPS and Canal Street electronics shops. The author links chip miniaturization, compression, programmable chips and the decline of solderable components to information hiding and surveillance; the text addresses cultural manifestations in television and consumption and frames video and computer animation as tools to simulate and critique mass-media and military structures, noting distribution via web pages and live webcasts.
