Technologies create the material conditions within which we work, and imagine ourselves and our identities. I am concerned with how technology is developed within a context where overarching priority is given to formal systems over content, and where the complicating and politicizing projects of postmodernity are marginalized. I am interested in the epistemological work of current technologies. This includes what gets technological attention and what does not, what gets counted, and what gets left out. I will use a number of my own projects to make the above assertions meaningful, and then go on to introduce the Bureau of Inverse Technology.
Engineering is where social reality is made.
