“Nature as Origin and Difference” by Steven Vogel

“Humans are always already entangled in the natural… while we are doubtless nature’s product at the same time nature is always already out product too.”

From Counterculture to Cyberculture by Fred Turner

“Over time, the [Whole Earth] network’s members and forums helped redefine the microcomputer as a ‘personal’ machine, computer communication networks as ‘virtual communities,’ and cyberspace itself as the digital equivalent of the western landscape into which so many communards set forth in the late 1960s, the ‘electronic frontier.’” (6)

Marshall Berman, All that is Solid Melts into AIr

“To be modern is to be part of a universe in which, as Marx said, ‘all that is solid melts into air’… To be modern is to live a life of paradox and contradiction. It is to be overpowered by the immense bureaucratic organizations that have the power to control and often to destroy all communities, values, lives; and yet to be undeterred in our determination to face these forces, to fight to change their world and make it our own. It is to be both revolutionary and conservative: alive to new possibilities for experience and adventure, frightened by the nihilistic depths to which so many modern adventures lead, longing to create and to hold on to something real even as everything melts.” (13-14)

“I define modernism as any attempt by modern men and women to become subjects as well as objects of modernization, to get a grip on the modern world and make themselves at home in it.” (5-6)

Hugo Ball, “Dada Fragments”

“The Dadaist trusts more in the sincerity of events than in the wit of persons. To him persons may be had cheaply, his own person not excepted. He no longer believes in the comprehension of things from one point of departure, but is nevertheless convinced of the union of all things, of totality, to such an extent that he suffers from dissonances to the point of self-dissolution…”
