in my computer # 1
DESCRIPTION
In My Computer, by Miltos Manetas, is a collection of essays, interviews, short tales, parables, e-mails and drafts by its author. Written between 1997 and 2011, some of these texts are widely known, many others are unpublished, and just came out of his computer. All of them contribute to portray a personality who had a strong influence on younger generations of artists, thanks to his impressive body of work - including paintings, videos, installations, prints, performances and, last but not least, websites - but also to his writings. Manetas’ book is the first of a series of artists’ writings: “notebooks” sharing the same title (In My Computer) and the same concept, being collections of widely known and unpublished texts, spare fragments and private writings.TRANSCRIPT

«What about Tadao Ando» Benjamin said, «I can'treally think any other architect than Ando at thishour. Maybe I can put you in touch with him, afriend of mine knows him well.»
Dear Mr. Ando,What is “Internet” in terms of space? How do we walk in the Internet,how do we even circulate without dying from boredom? We want youto design the Internet Pavilion. We don't need any complicate Net-architecture, “Avatars”, “Virtual Worlds” etc, that's actually what wewant to avoid. We are interested instead for something poetic andinfluential, something suggestive such as the prints of Claude-Nicolas Ledoux.

«We need another Internet», I kept repeating tomyself a few days later, as I was flying to NewYork. «This isn't “internet” enough, this is justsome kind of desert. The desert of computer screensas Paul Virilio says.»
«For the Internet Pavilion, we also want to turnreal space into internet. We want an InternetPavilion which is huge (in terms of space) and at

the same time extremely portable. Can you do it?»,I asked.«Well, I did something like that back on the days Iwas a student.» Wassmann said.«I made a cube thatis a Litter which can be turned into a Meter. Thecube has the volume of a litter and weights akilogram. When you expand it, it becomes a meter.It is made of a special translucent material andwhen it's open, it looks like a bridge.»
«You should talk to Dr. Kleinrock about theInternet Pavilion», my friend said. «I maybe ableto put you in touch with him actually, because hisdaughter is a friend of mine.»
«Who is Mr. Kleinrock?», I asked my friend.«You should know him, he is the inventor of theInternet!»«Isn't Tim Berners Lee who came with the World WideWeb?»«Yes but back in 1969, the year that we went to theMoon, Mr. Kleinrock connected for the very firsttime two university computers and sent the firstemail from one computer to another.»

«The text we tried sending» Mr. Kleinrock told me«was the command LOGIN. So we sent the 'L' and thenwe called Stanford on the telephone. “Did youreceive the 'L'?” “Yes, we received the 'L'”,Stanford replied. Then we sent the 'O' and wecalled them again. “Did you receive the 'O'?” “Yes,we did receive the 'O'”, they answered. But when wetried to send the 'G' the system crashed. Hence,the literal first message that was sent over theInternet was 'LO' which is old English for the word'Look'! Internet had arrived and it was asking allour attention!»«Dr. Kleinrock, is it true that you are not happywith the Internet as it is today?», I asked him. «Iread an interview of yours where you complain thatwith the existent Net, we can't connect from allplaces, we can't connect with all possible devicesand also, that the devices that we are using toconnect are still visible!»«If I understand well, you want that internetexists everywhere, that we can connect with it withall possible objects and even that we will not haveto use any device at all in order of connecting!»«That's right», Mr. Kleinrock said, «internet is nogood yet.»«Am I wrong or you wish that internet becomesNature? You don't need any devices to connect toNature, its everywhere and you are always connectedto it by all kind of objects.»«Do you want that internet becomes just anotherlayer of Nature?»«Well, I never thought of it that way but yes,basically this is what I would like internet tobe», said Mr. Kleinrock.
