Why a disrecognized space?

‘Disrecognized space’ is a phrase first used in the animated series Aeon Flux in reference to the border between the two political states in that series, Monica and Bregna.A recognized space and an unrecognized space both affirm the presence of that space, if in different ways, but a ‘disrecognized’ space is something Other, a postmodernist phrase that is unexplained in the television series.

This is (not) me

This image represents me in the electronic sphere. We like to think digital is ‘perfect’ (digital film is better than analogue, digital music is better than analogue) but digital hides as much as it reveals. Thus, my image reveals me and obscures me as it is mediated through the computer: taken by a webcam it displays inherent ambiguities in the technology. It is a performance (an aspect but not a totality) just as all social interactions. It is placed in space (real and electronic) but it is not located in any one place, just as electronic discourse is spaceless.
