unfolds in different subject areas. Enjoy a beautiful outsight of an
immaterial world, an immaterial self.
Flora
Miranda’s fascination with the simultaneous evolution of human
behaviour and new technologies has its origins in her upbringing: born
in a family of musicians and artists, she learned how painters helped
their eyes with the camera obscura and photography. She saw musical
instruments tweaked, like the prepared piano by John Cage.
Experiencing
the shift in the digital world with home computers and the internet,
the ‘digital’ became her attitude to life. Expressing, shaping, and
exploring this further evolving digital identity is the role of Flora
Miranda’s creations.
This
book is your companion to navigate through bits and bytes. To feel
strong in a jungle of hackers. It can inspire you to take things into
your own hand – may it be a change of perspective on the world, may it
be transformative, may it support projects you believe in, or may it
help to build your own world.
