] As of next Monday I will be on tour. So, in an effort to ] cut myself some slack from the few precious civilian days ] remaining, I'm opting to post the following talk, which ] I gave last year at the Vancouver Art Gallery. VAG had ] mounted an ambitious if oddly titled (The Uncanny) show ] around the theme of "the cyborg". Since this seemed to be ] "the cyborg" as academics understand "the cyborg", and ] not just a cyborg, or cyborgs, as you or I might ] understand cyborg(s) I took it upon myself to lower the ] tone of the proceedings with the following. Also, Gibson's take on The Matrix. William Gibson: In the Visegrips of Dr. Satan (w/ Vannevar Bush and Google) |
