It is partly within this question where we can find the MA:IM 2012 exposition Forking Bits where its not the versus that matters and its not the answers that glean. Instead, Forking Bits stabs straight into the guts of it, raising new questions, and exploring and exposing the processes where technology meets culture, where practice meets theory, where materiality meets criticality, and vice versa. As forking is to copy and diverge, Forking Bits lives up to its name by considering the bits by bits, the processes and transformations the in between in the frontier leaves of computational culture and theory and in the historical roots and emergences of media systems. Their prodding of technology does not bring new flavours to the table; instead, it serves what it is we already taste without knowing. It is the methodologies, interventions and ideas that are significant. Unfolding and assimilating, technologies reveal themselves as cultural power flows, disciplining our thoughts and behaviours. It is here we find Forking Bits; the forks are constructed and the bits are made ready for prodding. We look forward to seeing you.
