Book Description
For Geert Lovink, interviews are imaginative texts that can help
to create global, networked discourses not only among different
professions but also among different cultures and social groups.
Conducting interviews online, over a period of weeks or months, allows
the participants to compose documents of depth and breadth, rather than
simply snapshots of timely references.
The interviews collected in this book are with artists, critics, and
theorists who are intimately involved in building the content,
interfaces, and architectures of new media. The topics discussed include
digital aesthetics, sound art, navigating deep audio space, European
media philosophy, the Internet in Eastern Europe, the mixing of old and
new in India, critical media studies in the Asia-Pacific region, Japanese
techno tribes, hybrid identities, the storage of social movements, theory
of the virtual class, virtual and urban spaces, corporate takeover of the
Internet, and the role of cyberspace in the rise of nongovernmental
organizations.
Interviewees included Norbert Bolz, Paulina Borsook, Luchezar Boyadjiev,
Kuan-Hsing Chen, C�lin Dan, Mike Davis, Mark Dery, Kodwo Eshun, Susan
George, Boris Groys, Frank Hartmann, Michael Heim, Dietmar Kamper, Zina
Kaye, Tom Keenan, Arthur Kroker, Bruno Latour, Marita Liulia, Rafael
Lozano-Hemmer, Peter Lunenfeld, Lev Manovich, Mongrel, Edi Muka, Jonathan
Peizer, Saskia Sassen, Herbert Schiller, Gayatri Spivak, J�nos Sug�r,
Ravi Sundaram, Toshiya Ueno, Tjebbe van Tijen, McKenzie Wark, Hartmut
Winkler, and Slavoj Zizek.
