What I call the digital ouroboros (remember the alchemical symbol of the snake biting its own tail?), refers to a condition whereby we’ve fallen into infinity. An infinity of dead information and obese images. This is the vicious paradox of the digital age, it is the height of masochism and hunger. Content has now beep replaced with metacontent, physical attributes have been replaces with meta-attributes and so on. So we’re really slipping quite quickly out of any kind of gravitational pull and at the same time, and this is the point that I think is very interesting, the world is seizing up on itself.
Forget all the hype about a new frontier, it’s far too late for that kind of utopian spin. We’re out to colonize cyberspace because there’s simple no place left for us to go. The space program hasn’t quite worked out.
