I agree, all questions should be on the table. And, you’re absolutely correct that the infrastructure takes a lot of work. What I like is that, at this point at least, we need not rely strictly on old forms of knowledge (book, essay, novel, oration, declamation). What might be more accurate is that we do need to rely on the limitations and opportunities within technical infrastructure (and its luck).

A somewhat arbitrary one. All questions should be on the table. The thing is, it takes work to consider and build technical infrastructure, … and it takes a lot more work (and a good measure of luck) to get it adopted.

But I might quibble with the underlying assumptions within “what we want them to do.” Why the drive toward synthesis and aggregation? Or, maybe more precisely, I wonder about the implications within processes of aggregation which seems to me somewhat at odds with (though not antithetical to) creativity, intuition, and kairotic happenstance.

However, I like the Avatar image of a decentered, yet grounded connection. So I can see how a perspective, like a journal, might aggregate according to its interests and create something “new” from the strands while still allowing for others to (in)form in their own way. After reading Bogost’s post, but not Graham’s, perhaps such a decentered network of strands is what folks are after.
