::FEATURE.REVIEW:: "BAMBINO IN KOMA"
BY: Francesca De Nicolò

KID Koma è un luogo dove dlsan ha voluto rappresentare: "il bambino in coma
dentro di noi - che vogliono assopire anziché risvegliare, dove gente mi ha
detto non c'ho capito nulla del tuo sito ma c'ho perso più di mezz'ora, e
secondo me questo è bellissimo -Il mio primo amore teatrale dopotutto è
stato Ionesco e il suo teatro dell'assurdo...".
Moltissimi sono i link che negli anni si sono sovrapposti intorno e dentro
kid koma quali meccanismi che attivano una serie di viaggi mentali.

::SPECIAL FEATURE::
This month NAR features a focus on Artist and Scientist Santiago Ortiz
originally published in a minima::
a magazine published in Spain in English and Spanish.

He writes:
"I do not care about the machine. I do not think it important and I avoid
the debates which have become continuous in the western technocracy. In
general, I suspect that western speeches are banal and repetitive, that they
constantly think they are discovering what was always known and put into
practice in other cultures, and that the mere fact that the technologies of
our culture have a wider scope and power has led to the collective sensation
that the rich west is the manager in charge of the future. Being immersed,
in terms of work, into an environment where they talk about and debate
topics in which I am not interested (such as the relation between man and
machine, the great or disastrous futures brought by technology, the digital
network as a collective brain, ciberpunk, technological activisms and
hacktivisms, copyleft and commons, etc.)
makes me uneasy in a way. I have been on the verge of losing my computer
more than once. Again, just to find an excuse and to devote myself to
something new and different."
