..the pathways along which improvisatory practice unfolds are not connections between one thing and another but lines along which they continually come into being. Thus the entanglement of things has to be understood literally and precisely, not as a network of connections but as a meshwork of interwoven lines of growth and movement. Tim Ingold

New Media: A Critical Introduction
Martin Lister, Jon Dovey, Seth Giddings, Iain Grant, Kieran Kelly
Publisher: Routledge ISBN:978-0-415-43161-3
