The Gaze of the Snow Witch

This text is a methodological outline linking categories of the Technopolitics research project with the PhD research project on "Moves in Media Art - Paradigm changes in art and technology".

A Millennial Perspective, published in 2001 and The World Economy: Historical Statistics, which was released in 2003.
