Data Made Flesh: Embodying Information

Autor R Mitchell Editat de Robert Mitchell, Phillip Thurtle
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 oct 2003

Data Made Flesh is the first collection to address the increasingly important links between information and embodiment, at a moment when we are routinely tempted, in the words of Donna Haraway, "to be raptured out of the bodies that matter in the lust for information," whether in the rush to complete the Human Genome Project or in the race to clone a human being.
