Metaphor building cannot be effective for the construction of non-locations. As a literary technique it cannot be simply transformed from the Gutenberg galaxy to the hybrid environments of the Turing galaxy. This would effect the 'homogenisation and standardisation of subjectivity modes' 3 which tends to serve the interest of those who are primarily commercially concerned with the field of the machinic. Metaphors could be used for that purpose, as they do nothing to make the intangible dynamic but rather solidify it in concepts. They have integrated failure and interruptions.
Networked environments offer extra connections and nodes, leading to relational concepts of agency.
The Internet is a transport medium between physical and electronic space, formulating as it were an agreement between the human and the machinic. Activities can no longer be categorized as unequivocally social or technological. The position of the agent is not that of the outside observer, but that of the participant who is situated within the system and its transversal structures and who becomes part of the event. Although it refers to the potential that can be activated, it does not assume a given situation - the Situationist tactics of strolling and wandering about have to be modified. What should be developed from this open situation are not analytical descriptive tools, but rather possibilities to outline technologically supported agencies in non-locations.
