Filed under book | Tags: · free software, interface, internet, search, software, software art, software studies
A far-reaching and strikingly original collection of essays on the “culture of software” by new-media critic Matthew Fuller. Behind the Blip looks at the many ways in which the ostensibly neutral userinterfaces, search engines, “intelligent agents,” and word processorsthat are now part of our everyday life are actively reshaping the waywe look at and interact with the world.

“This is the first time for the complete works of the artist-duo UBERMORGEN.COM – lizvlx and Hans Bernhard – to be presented in printed form and subjected to critical scrutiny.
To mark the tenth anniversary of UBERMORGEN.COM, a number of internationally respected critics, curators and artists focus on these border-liners in the global mass media and their radical actions on the precipice of the international art world. The interplay of concept art, software art, fine art, media hacking, net art and media activism makes UBERMORGEN-COM a hybrid gesamtkunstwerk within the contemporary European media-art avant-garde.
With texts and interviews by and with Inke Arns, Florian Cramer, Raffael Dörig, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Peter Weibel and others.”
