Storytelling needs to be the main thing, although the proper style helps. It’s like a language: If you have language, it’s a duet with the storyteller and the listener and you have certain regulations, certain words mean something, and if you use them in a proper way, you can really have your story come across. I think I learned that from Hergé; it’s not only the drawing. If you have that proper language, then comes the storytelling.

Every discussion within an online community converges to a zero-information signal characterized by empty assertions concerning the foundational dichotomy of that community.

warrenellis: Pro-Pussy Riot protestors (Reuters) Pussy Riot’s closing statement by Yekaterina Samutsevich via BoingBoing’s Cory Doctorow Why did Putin feel the need to exploit the Orthodox religion and its aesthetics? In the end, considering all the irreversible political and symbolic losses caused by our innocent creativity, the authorities decided to protect the public from us and our nonconformist thinking. On the one hand, we now expect a guilty verdict. Compared to the judicial machine, we are nobodies, and we have lost. On the other hand, we have won.

Why did Putin feel the need to exploit the Orthodox religion and its aesthetics?

In the end, considering all the irreversible political and symbolic losses caused by our innocent creativity, the authorities decided to protect the public from us and our nonconformist thinking.

On the one hand, we now expect a guilty verdict. Compared to the judicial machine, we are nobodies, and we have lost. On the other hand, we have won.

If New Aesthetics is bringing something new here I think it’s “processuality.” It’s about the aesthetics of watching the code run, as opposed to static printouts of code as psychedelic underground comix. The issue of social relations, of finding meaning through the network, that’s very important but also metaphysical — it’s about how we know what we know. It’s an issue of “media philosophy.” Problems here which used to be quite speculative and farfetched are becoming urgent. I’m hoping for rescue.
