Posting

I'm very busy these days and I have no hope that this will change anytime soon. I'll try to post with regularity, but I can't assure it... Sorry... :(

Collective face

According with the philosopher Levinas, the concept of face is applicable only to humans. But, if we could analyse the whole internet as a collective human face?
The internet is a acentric rhisomatic web that is expanding, but it's limited. It is a matted web in which the linked points are partially formed by proposed source codes and by rearrangement or addition of code. Internet is a medium, a language and a situation. Strictly speaking, internet is a huge set of data open to modification arising from any part of the web, and it's a place where the source code is modified and expanded accordingly with the users activity. It's a finite web that could be analysed. It's possible (with the correct method) to measure whole humanity as an single individual. It's possible to measure the macro-humor of the internet in a determined moment, evaluate if the internet is being creative or not. This way, i think the internet is like a collective face.
