Author: Board of International Research in Design (BIRD)
This book questions the sustaining support of digital objects, aiming to challenge the habitualisation towards digital devices, the forgetting of the physical interface that leads to the supposition of digital immateriality by making the computer apparent as an absurd thing that escapes language. The author positions himself among these strange and aloof digital things and their effects. 'This text here might be rendered on a screen. It could appear on paper as well. I have written it on a computer. As you are reading it, something is functioning as an interface. Although I do not know exactly what this thing is, I know for certain that there is something here, slipping your mind as you read this text.'
