ENDORSEMENTS “Arcangel’s trajectory as an artist maps the palette of computing over the past decades. From beige to candy-colored and rainbow-hued to toxic orange and dollar blues, Eivind Røssaak captures this faithfully and in telling detail.” —Matthew Fuller, Goldsmiths, University of London “Like Duchamp, Arcangel is a sly prankster. His media hacks are serious, challenging, and deeply funny. Røssaak shows why these aspects must be thought together to understand Arcangel’s conception of a contemporary art practice. Weaving together the technical and social mechanics through which we are threaded, Røssaak’s infrastructural analysis reveals Arcangel’s jokes as a window into the unconscious of our 21st-century media culture.” —Andrew V. Uroskie, Associate Professor, Stony Brook University
