Working with multmedia artifacts? Teresa de Lauretis can help you delve into it.
“There are “languages,” practices of language and discursive apparati that produce meanings; and there are different modes of semiotic production, ways in which labor is invested in the production of signs and meaning. The types of labor invested, and the modes of production involved, it seems to me, are directly , materially, relevant to the constitution of subjects in ideology –class subjects, race subjects, sexed subjects, and any other differential category that may have political use-value for particular situations of practice and particular historical moments” (De Lauretis, Teresa. Alice Doesen´t, 32 ) 
She asked ¿Qué hay entre los unos y los ceros?

Thanks to my friend Linda, I finally started my long planned blog. I thought of a machete (cheat sheet) or a machetazo (super cheat sheet, we Argentineans always like to go big) to help me put down and share the thoughts dancing around my work in progress. MiMachete will be bilingual and multi-form since I plan to paste anything that that is influencing me at a particular moment.

I believe that a blog will help me deal with my messy and audiovisual thoughts giving them a somehow orderly audiovisual format. I hope it makes sense to you too. Thanks for joining!
