Issue No 5: Interview With Geert Lovink

We see a lot of evidence that something like multipolar world is emerging trough these new forms of authoritarianism, which are regional in nature. It’s is a new form of Empire, not one but a multitude of centers, and in that sense has nothing to do with the Cold War politics anymore.

From the Archives: Vilém Flusser – 1988 Interview About Technical Revolution

It has been clear for several centuries now that, if we want to understand the world, it is not sufficient to describe it by words: it is necessary to calculate it. So that science has had ever more recurrence to numbers, which are images of thoughts.

Sad by Design

Of course sadness already existed before social media. And even when the smart phone is safely out of reach, you can still feel down and out.

The Transformation of Turkey’s Media under the AKP’s Authoritarian Turn

The Psychology of Paranoid Irony

Beginning with the figure of Roko’s Basilisk, a hypothetical vengeful future AI that emerged in online forums, Ana Teixeira Pinto launches her analysis of the psychological state engendered by online interaction that has led to a seemingly paradoxical set of views: totally paranoid yet ironically detached.

Issue 5 – Editor’s note
