everybody can see the networks of modernity.
„networks through countries. networks through companies. networks through lives“
they reshape the public imagination.networks of global network society are built into the social space to re-shape it, also physically.

„networks carrying goods. networks carrying ideas. networks carrying profits. “
they are sometimes unseen, but they entered as concept into pop olymp of visual culture.
everything now can be seen as being a node in a network. the general intellect knows that.

and we build infrastructures that carry the message of the diagrammatical state of human culture-society even to the yet unmapped interstellar space.– and present human culture even to yet unknown aliens, making an infrastructural connect. by means of images.

the idea of infrastructures already entered the very register of non-mainstream culture and the language of ‚pop‘ as Deleuze would have it.infrastrucures are not only depicted. they are *in* the images. in many ways.

taking the idea of ‚flowing images‘ to timespace of our lifeworlds, we even see images marking the transfer of imaginaries through global space (and cultural time), inscribed in the very infrastructures, which they themselves depict.

the logistic infrastructures of global capitalism become the new canvases of social semiotics. in unexpected ways.and counter culture uses this as canvas, for depicting their own networks of reference. displaying their own kinds of events, creating their own durations.

mapping the urban and industrial infrastructures in itw own maps, counterculture can map out its own networks of meaning production its own network ‚logics‘, augmenting the very meaning of something like infrastructure, map, meaning...

these image produced in the new networks of global communicative capitalism also occupy place in a new way, creating semiotic space literaly. they are *placed* into social space. and this is part of their very meaning structure and mechanisms.

thereby images are placed into contexts, commenting these contexts, breathing this contexts.counter culture can also use this as resource for producing counter-meaning, shifting references through fractalized, contradictory space.

sites are reassembled to sights, organized vision assembled around uncommon meaning resources. creating semiotic places which become semiotic nodes of a different kind of network of meaning, with all its randomness, often being bound to counter-events.connecting in e pecular way repressed histories, a now of enunciation, and a forking of a seemingly hetero-destined social future.

walls, industrial paint, money, blockbuster movies: infrastructures are always usable and used as semiotic resources.in the very midst of semiotic struggles, different languages, signsystems and languages are being confronted with each other, fighting each other as surrogates, being used by social actors. differently.

these ‚confronting images‘ can get a meaning in themselves, standing in for real social positionings, confrontations and struggles.they can encompass these actors in actuality but also become events in themselves. to be seen.

the very gadgets and networks of global high-tech empire can become the means to re-create the counternetworks of resistant meaning. the multitude is calling. in events which actualize an un-existing network, using out-sourced resources, inscribing digital networks anew, turning post-democratcy on its head from the inside, creating habits which only look exotic in their first appearances.

text + language here has tp become an image too, on both sides. (if there are two).the hashtag is becoming a visual just like the mask, or the event of counter-assemblies itself.these images are geared to travel, geared for calling up an alternative network within the very networks existing, filling them with meaning anew, – negating, queering and re-masking the networked now.

the networked carnival of the multitude is also a moment of mestize.different networks of counter-meaning are fusing, re-assembling, promiscuing.geographies as produced, inscribed – or like in the case of Fukushima – imploded by the post-industrial networks are re-mixed in a new network of socio-semiotic events. improvising its own codes as they go along.

the networks of multitude are translating semiotic markers, re-contextualizing them.moving images are transport vessels of a virtual organization, they can become the resource of recreating the network through time, talking to each others without necessarily talking.

the occupation of networks also creates events in digital space, recreating the network of the multiitude here.while this is not neccessary, here too - intriguingly – these events imagine themselves with image-acts, combining different markers of different (‚heterogenous‘) markers and semiotic projectiles

while you can argue with some credit that the multitude does not really exist, and if it ever exists, does not exist as network,you can also find attempts to network imaginaries of diverting events into a common matrix or reading and representation.

the non-network of this multitude is trying to grasp itself with the help of images– either in roadmaps assembled with the very imaginary tools given by ‚capitalist‘ network society– or as a question and a blank, phrased again into images to be understandable, as a question, turning into irony.

but then this non-network is fragile, threaded losely and always threaded anew.
it might create its own mapping as an event (like here, a mapping of commonalities and issues within the labSurlab network of heterogenous latinamerican medialabs)
deliberately leaving the use of network technologies of domination,... just to re-phrase the very metaphors of ‚network‘ in new colors and habits.
