>::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."
