There is a double spooking the world, the double of abstraction. The fortunes of states and armies, companies and communities depend on it. All contending classes - the landlords and farmers, the workers and capitalists - revere yet fear the relentless abstraction of the world on which their fortunes yet depend. All the classes but one. The hacker class. <br/> <br/>02. Whatever code we hack, be it programming language, poetic language, math or music, curves or colourings, we create the possibility of new things entering the world. Not always great things, or even good things, but new things. In art, in science, in philosophy and culture, in any production of knowledge where data can be gathered, where information can be extracted from it, and where in that information new possibilities for the world are produced, there are hackers hacking the new out of the old. While hackers create these new worlds, we do not possess them. That which we create is mortgaged to others, and to the interests of others, to states and corporations who control the means for making worlds we alone discover. We do not own what we produce - it owns us. <br/> <br/>http://subsol.c3.hu/subsol_2/contributors0/warktext.html</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://deterritory.tribe.net">deterritory</a> - 1 reply </div> Fri, 10 Dec 2004 03:44:53 GMT http://deterritory.tribe.net/thread/bdac601c-9889-49b6-84e0-d66ce096aff0 synthum 2004-12-10T03:44:53Z
