In 2008 , the science-fiction movie Sleep Dealer by Alex Rivera envisioned a future which couldn’t be more timely: the border between Mexico und the US has been closed. Therefore, immigrant workers in the US have been replaced by robots. However, these robots are remotely controlled by people in Mexico who have their bodies plugged directly into the network.

Before the Internet, it would be really difficult to find someone, sit them down for ten minutes and get them to work for you, and then fire them after those ten minutes. But with technology, you can actually find them, pay them the tiny amount of money, and then get rid of them when you don’t need them anymore.

When Edward Snowden met journalists in his cramped room in Hong Kong's Mira hotel in June, his mission was ambitious. Amid the clutter of laundry, meal trays and his four laptops, he wanted to start a debate about mass surveillance.
He succeeded beyond anything the journalists or Snowden himself ever imagined. His disclosures about the NSA resonated with Americans from day one. But they also exploded round the world.
For some, like Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, it is a vitally important issue, one of the biggest of our time: nothing less than the defence of democracy in the digital age.

In the early 1970s, a group of technocrats and members of the business elite formed an international organization called the Club of Rome. Together, they commissioned a team of M.I.T. researchers to run a computer analysis of Earth’s finite resources against the exponential growth of human activity.

Low_Tech supports the idea that a website can serve a small community connected through common interests. The Internet's global accessibility has lead us to think on a massive scale, but a community that lacks physical proximity can still be “local” in mindset.

A website can be a testing ground, a micro-utopia, or a safe haven, offering relief from the commodified web.

Sous la forme d’une série d’hypothèses, l’atlas critique d’Internet développe 15 exercices conceptuels de spatialisation d'Internet. L’objectif de cet Atlas est d’utiliser l’analyse spatiale comme clé de compréhension des enjeux sociaux, politiques et économiques présents sur Internet. Tenter d’en cerner les contours nous permettra d’en comprendre les enjeux.Travail de recherche théorique et graphique initié et développé."
"Dans le but d’entreprendre la spatialisation d’Internet, j’ai organisé ma recherche sous la forme d’une suite d’hypothèses : une série de réflexions sur la représentation et la cartographie de l’espace d’Internet. Chacune de mes pistes est envisagée comme un exercice conceptuel de spatialisation qui est exposé par un ensemble d’éléments visuels (dessins, schémas, objets, modélisations 3D, animations vidéos). À la manière d’un processus scientifique, je justifie mes hypothèses par la présentation d’arguments tangibles et concrets de la structure d’Internet. "

Ce documentaire porte sur les constructions d'une idéologie cybernéticienne et la constitution du régime néo-libéral d'après guerre froide ... Il retrace entre autre les enjeux d'une contre-contre-culture visant à forcer l'adhésion d'une politique libérale débridée et ultra individualiste (dissolvant les pouvoirs étatiques socialistes).
