Ever since the iconic Microsoft Bliss, Computer interfaces have had the purpose of immersing us into a comfortable environment.

But why do we need to trick ourselves in order to disregard from the fact that we spend hours in front of technical devices—devices that we are not capable of understanding?

Our addiction to harmony is manifested in this post internet form of escapism.

The images of far away islands distract us from the impending doom of the commodification of the worker in the network society.

The western world is hanging on a single thread, global processes beyond our control are threatening to overthrow the established order and equilibrium.
