Digital #MediaArt(s) Numérique(s)

Noūs, les médiarchéologues, avons une méthode pour descendre dans les profondeurs, au cœur, voire au double cœur, des media. Les théoriciens des média, en général, présupposent que les médias se définissent par leurs effets. Effets sur le sensorium ou la hiérarchie des sens, en premier. Ainsi chez McLuhan, tout, déjà, pouvait être media.

Noūs, médiarchéologues, présupposons la même chose avec une nuance : les effets sur le sensorium (et sur le langage) viennent des appareils médiatiques. Ainsi les plaçons-noūs au commencement et au commandement (archè) de notre environnement culturel. Ils déterminent la pensée et l’écriture. Mais de façon non-linéaire : en médiarchie, les effets sont aussi des causes (formelles et matérielles).

Noūs, médiarchéologues, cherchons à analyser et mesurer les effets des média numériques sur l’écriture, le sensorium et la pensée. Pour ce faire, il noūs faut aller au cœur pour atteindre ce qui, dans ce medium, gouverne. Le commencement — ce qui est premier — et le principe sont la condition des conditions du medium. Au commencement du commandement, noūs situons la récursion. La récursivité des conditions de médialité est la boucle étrange qui gouverne les médias, à rebours, au cœur de leur cœur.

Manifestos for the Internet Age is a reader that collects manifestos of computer culture, starting with Ted Nelson (Computer Lib), through the GNU Manifesto and the Hacker Manifesto (1986), up to current influential positions such as The Cult of Done, the Cryptoparty Manifesto, the Critical Engineering Manifesto (Oliver, Savičić, Vasiliev), the 3D Additivist Manifesto (Morehshin Allahyari & Daniel Rourke), the Xenofeminist Manifesto (Laboria Cuboniks), and many other writings from both artists and activists.

This book is currently in beta status. Development is ongoing in the Git repository (participation is welcome). The book is generated using MarkDown, Pandoc and TeX.

The initial release was created over a week-end, during a Greyscale Press “BookLab” workshop held at the Fahrenheit39 Art Book Fair in Ravenna (read more about it here).

More than a year ago the Süddeutsche Zeitung was contacted by a source who was intent on staying anonymous. The source called himself “John Doe” and offered internal data belonging to the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca. The Süddeutsche Zeitung decided to analyze the data in cooperation with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). In the course of the research the cooperation was extended to include more than 100 media organizations from over 80 countries. The publication of the Panama Papers caused an enormous stir all over the globe: Politicians and functionaries had to resign, there was a large amount of public protest, and the stories led to raids and investigations in dozens of countries.

Now “John Doe”, the anonymous source, has sent the SZ a manifesto, which can be read as an explanation of his actions – and as a call to action. The manifesto and its inherent political stance had no editorial influence on the reporting by the SZ or of any of the other cooperating media organizations – nor will it influence them in the future. The SZ did not have to agree to any conditions concerning the reporting in order to receive the data of the Panama Papers.
