“DIS Images invites artists to create alternative scenarios and new stereotypes<\/a>”<\/p>\n

“Games are therefore a fantastic example of ways in which digital technology is profoundlyembodied<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/a>usually designed with the able-bodied default in mind<\/a>“<\/em><\/p>\n

“it wasn\u2019t enough to talk about the need for drone art; we wanted to instigate it<\/a>”<\/p>\n

“There is, to put it bluntly and inelegantly, an explosion of drone art around at the moment<\/a>”<\/p>\n

“a single game of DRONE provides more clarity of purpose than the thousands of words spoken by our President<\/a>”<\/p>\n

“He feels like he\u2019s being watched all the time<\/a>”<\/p>\n

“Google\u2019s job, in many ways, will never be done because the city is one long emergent phenomenon, constantly being remade and reordered<\/a>”<\/p>\n

“Domino’s has managed to make waiting for your pizza feel like better entertainment than social networks or television, and just as tweetable<\/a>”<\/p>\n

“He handed me a semen sample, we hugged, and I went into my bedroom and inseminated myself<\/a>”<\/p>\n

“my brain is always blank \/ my brain is alive \/ my brain is a burger<\/a>”<\/p>\n

“Just as you grieve if a friend is killed, you should<\/em> grieve if a fictional character is killed<\/a>”<\/p>\n

“the new Silicon Valley parable: dream big, privatize the previously public, pay no attention to the rules, build recklessly, enjoy shamelessly, invoke magic, and then pay everybody off<\/a>”<\/p>\n

“You can share your Wi-Fi. You can share a dog. You can even share a baby<\/a>”<\/p>\n

“as a provocation, I said, ‘OK, I want to try to make money with my own data’<\/a>”<\/p>\n

“each act of listening to music may be thought of as both recapitulating the past and predicting the future<\/a>”<\/p>\n

“who has the authority to determine what is \u2018proper\u2019 and \u2018right\u2019 music?<\/a>”<\/p>\n

“Boundless Informant …details and even maps by country the voluminous amount of information it collects from computer and telephone networks<\/a>”<\/p>\n

“Like the pious polygamists, they are focused on deciphering cryptic messages that only they have the power to understand<\/a>”<\/p>\n

“Greenwald\u2019s storm will continue to rage because, I suspect, the story won\u2019t be limited to just phone records or Web data<\/a>”<\/p>\n

“Can it really be that participating in life, the economy, and society require a forking over of one’s claim to a ‘reasonable’ expectation of privacy?<\/a>”<\/p>\n

“While handing over data in response to a legitimate FISA request is a legal requirement, making it easier for the government to get the information is not<\/a>”<\/p>\n
