Description

We live in a world where interfaces play an increasingly central role. Interfaces are our means of engaging with both technical and social realities; gradually, they become not only conditions of access to the world of technology but also intrinsic structures of our experience. The interfaces designed by major corporations, game developers, and social application creators set standards of perception and self-awareness, disciplining us and determining the measure of control. This makes it all the more crucial to continue experimenting with interfaces, developing a new semiotic, symbolic, and bodily grammar—a challenge embraced by digital artists, gamers, science fiction writers, and neuromancers of media reality.
