Embodiments and environments are built precariously upon the patterns of these activated codes.


The currency through which value/meaning is investigated is generated through a particular colonisation of informatics, marking a change in the organic composition of capital which, as Henri Lefebvre writes, achieves "growth" by occupying space, by producing a space. Thus the new spaces that we align ourselves with, willingly separate, or blindly embrace as techno-utopias, are those "occupied" or produced "by an advancing capitalism, fragmented into parcels, homogenised into discrete commodities, organised into locations of control, and extended to the global scale.
