DISPERSIVE ANATOMIES
http://www.leonardo.info/LEA/DispersiveAnatomies/DispersiveAnatomies.html

Guest edited by Sandy Baldwin and Alan Sondheim. Gallery curated by Mez
Breeze.

This special issue, guest edited by Sandy Baldwin and Alan Sondheim,
considers the network as dispersive anatomy. As the call for papers stated,
"A fundamental shift in the way we view the world is underway: the
abandonment of discrete objects, and objecthood itself. The world is now
plural, and the distinction between real and virtual is becoming
increasingly blurred, with troubling consequences within the geopolitical
register. This shift is related to a cultural change that emphasizes digital
deconstruction over analog construction: a photograph for example can be
accessed and transformed, pixel by pixel, cities can be taken apart by
gerrymandering or eminent domain, and our social networks are replete with
names and images that problematize friendship, sexuality, and culture
itself. One issue that emerges here: Are we networking or are we networked?
Are we networks ourselves?" The resulting texts and works deal with this
fundamental shift in new and illuminating ways.
