FORKING BITS
Why use the fork when you have the natural technology of hands: the age
old, computer versus man?

It is partly within this question where we can find the MA:IM 2012
exposition Forking Bits where its not the ‘versus’ that matters and its
not the answers that glean.
Instead, Forking Bits stabs straight into the guts of it, raising new
questions, and exploring and exposing the processes where technology meets
culture, where practice meets theory, where materiality meets criticality,
and vice versa.

As ‘forking’ is to copy and diverge, Forking Bits lives up to its name by
considering the bits by bits, the processes and transformations – the in
between – in the frontier leaves of computational culture and theory and
in the historical roots and emergences of media systems.

Their prodding of technology does not bring new flavours to the table;
instead, it serves what it is we already taste without knowing. It is the
methodologies, interventions and ideas that are significant. Unfolding and
assimilating, technologies reveal themselves as cultural power flows,
disciplining our thoughts and behaviours.

It is here we find Forking Bits; the forks are constructed and the bits
are made ready for prodding.

We look forward to seeing you.
