Literature written in the style of computer code, electro-acoustic compositions with newly created sounds, but also subcultures with clearly identifiable manifestations, from Internet porn to neo-Nazis and anti-copyright activists: high-, low- and subculture have long been impossible to distinguish, including in the degree of their self-reference. Art and media criticism focuses mainly on the concepts, not on the objects themselves. In Anti-media, Florian Cramer shows, through a close reading of culturalexpressions and analysis of media and art criticism, how these constantly refer to their tradition, language and medium while trying to subvert them.
