How to counter the very sterilization of collective forms of experience, as well as the general tendency of a self isolation that weighs on our present ? How to invent ways of being together, while imagining a cooperation of intelligences ? Which situation is to be achieved, so that the equality of everyone and anyone could be verified, and give way to the invention of an unpredictable common ? How to reassess alteration as a motor allowing for identification ?
This intervention wishes to reverberate this very fact : if art can be passed down, it is first of all because it is itself the operator of the collective without which no transmission could ever be achieved.
Nenad Romic aka Marcell Mars, Work on Border
There are a very few expert fields where software tools didn’t become the essential part of their craft and workflows [1]. The adoption of software binds together, as Nathan Ensmenger [2] writes, “machines, people, and processes in an inextricably interconnected and interdependent system” which never goes without “conflict, negotiation, disputes over professional authority, and the conflation of social, political, and technological agendas. Software is perhaps the ultimate heterogeneous technology. It exists simultaneously as an idea, language, technology, and practice.”
Through historical overview of boundary work [3] or demarcation of science, scientific disciplines and other professionals fields and comparative analysis of the same processes for computer software world I will try to bring into the light the very moment of a convergence or a takeover of all school of thoughts by one: bureaucratic formalization; in latest incarnation: software tools.
