We must learn to subvert existing cities. It's the way to finally take charge. All you need is a computer, a viewpoint and the ability to express it. The separation and hostility between the "world" of art and the "world" of everyday life finally exploded in deep and voiceless grief. I did not know even the circumstances that had precipitated the conflict. Nothing has ever happened here, and nothing ever will. Conflict of interest, competition and exploitation are, in this context, notions devoid of content, punctuated by sharp screeching sounds; automatic equipment was intoning the phrases of the researchers who study cyberspace addictions. Are they addicted too? They expect everything and have nothing to fear, and at that point we'll see some amazing social changes.

Their divorce is only justified in a utilitarian society with arrested social relations, where concrete space necessarily has an anti-social character.
