I too have smoked with Kittler, in the dusty expanse of his Berlin home, replete with its assemblages of antiquated hardware, and I am sure others on nettime have done so too. In the wake of his death however I have felt no need to chime in with this fact in order to 'claim' him in some way, and I

I find it remarkable how contributors on this mailing list recall the personality and intellectual style of Friedrich Kittler, but little is being said about the insights and theory he left to the contemporary media criticism/activism/arts field.
