#Matthew FullerDigital Objects
If software has a social and technical imaginary, if it is culturally active as a force in itself, what does that mean for data more generally, the objects constructed, giving rise to or handled by software?
#Free Software Federation's Defective By Design anti-DRM campaign is quite interesting perspective on making the political and social role of ecconomy that is coded into technology transparent.

#"Networking. The Net as Artwork" You can download it from this link as a .pdf
Networking means to create nets of relations, where the publisher and the reader, the artist and the audience, act on the same level. The book represents a first tentative reconstruction of the history of artistic networking in Italy, through an analysis of media and art projects which during the past twenty years have given way to a creative, shared and aware use of technologies, from video to computers, contributing to the creation of Italian hacker communities.
Tatiana Bazzichelli (Rome, IT, 1974), is a communication sociologist and
an expert in network culture, hacktivism and net art. She is a Ph.D.
Scholar at Aarhus University.

"It's a condition, in fact, illustrated very well by Martha Rosler's collages from her series "Bringing the War Home" | 1967-72], in which images of the Vietnam War from Life magazine and daily newspapers are seen through the picture windows of clean, modern houses she found in architectural magazines. Here, windows to the outside include the window of the television set, which, along with those of newspapers and popular magazines, allows images to enter your house. These new views radically affect the architecture of the space." Beatriz Colomina.
