It is the<br>methodologies, interventions and ideas that are significant. Unfolding and<br>assimilating, technologies reveal themselves as cultural power flows,<br>disciplining our thoughts and behaviours.<br><br>It is here we find Forking Bits; the forks are constructed and the bits<br>are made ready for prodding.<br><br>We look forward to seeing you.<br><br>Further info visit http://forkingbits.net/ and course info<br>www.gold.ac.uk/pg/ma-interactive-media-critical-theory-practice/<br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Ccs-ma-im mailing list<br>Ccs-ma-im@gold.ac.uk<br>http://www3.gold.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/ccs-ma-im<br></div> </body>
