cyberspace is every-where now, having

everted and colonized theworld. It starts to sound

kind of ridiculous to speak

of cyberspace as beingsomewhere

else... (2014)

by billions of legitimateoperators, in every

nation!a graphic

of every pc... (1984)of

Computation and Space


9/35

Code/space occurs when software and

the spatiality of everyday life become

mutually constituted, that is, producedthrough one another. Here, spatiality is

the product of codeand the code exists

primarily in order to produce a particular

spatiality (Code/Space).


10/35

Filled by code, digitality, sensors and

devices, space is always in a state

of becoming. Think at the space

ontogenetically, not ontologically.

Space is spacing and transductionis

the continuous process of production

and emergence of modulations of

sociospatial practices. Space is not

noun, but is a verb: space is spacing(Code/Space).

Heterogeneity of digital temporalities

Subperceptuality: beyond the real-time

Premediation and the anticipated selfEmbedded temporalities

Such a sensor has become

increasingly useful because dairy cows

under stress to produce ever-greater

amounts of milk are these days

showing fewer signs of being in heat -making it harder for farmers to judge

the right moment for conception.

Sensor is implanted deep in the

genital of the animal!

You want to put your sensor *where*?!!!

Sensor networks have also been

described as a revolution in

scientific instrumentation, similar to

the telescope and microscope,

where a new order of insights might

be realized. Sensor networks areseen to operate as macroscopes

which enable a new way to

perceive complex interactions

through the high density and

resolution of temporal and spatialmonitoring data
