“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Bogost OOO interviews

...in Figure/Ground.

...in Fractured Politics.

I like this bit:

If oral rhetoric uses speech, if written rhetoric uses writing, if visual rhetoric uses images to make arguments and express ideas, then procedural rhetoric uses processes. These processes aren't just hypermodernist bureaucracies either, they are rules of operation. Sets of such rules that come together to produce behaviors. Procedural rhetoric is a rhetoric made of rules and behaviors rather than words or images.
