Cyber and Punk

Ottobre 5, 2007

The first reason of existence for this blog is

to put down ideas related to cyberpunk. The word, we feel, is obsolete to cyberpunks. In the origin, the movement was called mirrorshades. We started thinking over this word, and how to redefine what it used to mean, and we reached and got lost in the larger spectrum unwinding from the first beginnings of artificial intelligence to the significance of technology in aesthetics. Shortly after we had begun to have some animate talks about the place held by cyberpunk in history, we happened to watch Ironman. More on it later on.

We are glancing at vaste plains, that hold the secret of technology, as it becomes more and more integrated, or as it spreads its life-form like the borg, as it becomes closer and closer to what was called magic, in the whereabouts of The City and the Stars.

Awed by the extent of our undertaking, we almost got our will to write drowned down at the choice of the title of the blog.

If you have always been having thoughts about Mario being the the beginning of the end of history as we conceived it, or about how to set the speed of passing of time inside an artificial universe where you have your 300,000 terabyte-each AI’s enacting evolution; if you ended up desiring to stick a jack-in in the back of your skull and see really what is this thing with wires, see Electricity and
Metal. If you wish you could prove of seeing right now how Of seeing the two marry and we beginning to choke in between. And if at the same time, the fiction of it, the chrome storytellers, made you want it, or better, made you pretty certain that’s exactly what the future is going to be like. It is already like it with a few graphics still missing.

If is this so, writing your comments would most please us.

E.K.
