Delusive Spaces – Essays on Culture, Media and Technology

Description

This book investigates the archeology of media and machine, mapping the different methods and metaphors used to speak about technology. Returning to the present, Kluitenberg discusses the cultural use of new media in an age of post-governmental politics. Delusive Spaces concludes with the impossibility of representation. Going beyond the obvious delusions of the ‘new’ and the ‘free’, Kluitenberg theorizes artistic practises and European cultural policies, demonstrating a provocative engagement with the utopian dimension of technology.
