Cultural Recursion
We are witnessing the perpetuation of systems of rule and information transmission in which our own biological, psychological and existential biases lead us to mistakenly identify ourselves as the primary components (and purposes) of this process.

Cultural Algorithm
The dynamic activity of the methods, frameworks and algorithms of cultural encryption indicate that the nodes in any sufficiently sophisticated communications or information transmission system are secondary considerations to the primary functioning of a recursive self-replication of those same methods, frameworks and algorithms.
Successful perception-manipulation through information-mediated reinforcement requires an intuitive comprehension and insight into a cultural, historical “moment”…

Memes: Encoding Complexity
A meme is, more or less, simply a unit of information – a quantum of cultural communication. This is information stored, compressed, perhaps encoded or encrypted in some way. This information is encoded in such a manner that it can be unpacked or decrypted in useful ways. This generation of meaning clearly already exists within […]

A Post-Truth Information Economy
At the heart of the cranks and gears which churn behind the pseudo-fact engines of collective post-truth confusion is a grand democratisation of self-expression (and self-promotion) which has itself been facilitated by the progressive ramping-up of the importance and influence of the internet and social media…
