Supra Systems

by Georgina Voss (Editor), Paul Bailey (Contributor), David Benqué (Contributor)

Networked technologies are increasingly present across our lives. They manifest in many ways, yet their 'all-at-once' nature makes them difficult to parse. How can we get to grips with the power that these complex systems produce if we can't easily comprehend systems themselves?

In the Supra Systems book, our authors - writers, artists, curators, academics, designers, and researchers - examine what it means to articulate the forces and politics underpinning networked technologies. We look to almanacs, artificial intelligence, artificial tornadoes, data aestheticisation, machine learning, online sex work, parking lots, radical softness, skip diving, speedrunning and more, as we explore ways to experience, articulate, and interrogate the systems surrounding us.
