THE CRITICAL ENGINEERING MANIFESTO

0. The Critical Engineer considers Engineering to be the most transformative language of our time, shaping the way we move, communicate and think. It is the work of the Critical Engineer to study and exploit this language, exposing its influence.

1. The Critical Engineer considers any technology depended upon to be both a challenge and a threat. The greater the dependence on a technology the greater the need to study and expose its inner workings, regardless of ownership or legal provision.

2. The Critical Engineer raises awareness that with each technological advance our techno-political literacy is challenged.

3. The Critical Engineer deconstructs and incites suspicion of rich user experiences.

4. The Critical Engineer looks beyond the 'awe of implementation' to determine methods of influence and their specific effects.

5. The Critical Engineer recognises that each work of engineering engineers its user, proportional to that user's dependency upon it.

6. The Critical Engineer expands 'machine' to describe interrelationships encompassing devices, bodies, agents, forces and networks.

7. The Critical Engineer observes the space between the production and consumption of technology. Acting rapidly to changes in this space, the Critical Engineer serves to expose moments of imbalance and deception.

8. The Critical Engineer looks to the history of art, architecture, activism, philosophy and invention and finds exemplary works of Critical Engineering. Strategies, ideas and agendas from these disciplines will be adopted, re-purposed and deployed.

9. The Critical Engineer notes that written code expands into social and psychological realms, regulating behaviour between people and the machines they interact with. By understanding this, the Critical Engineer seeks to reconstruct user-constraints and social action through means of digital excavation.

10. The Critical Engineer considers the exploit to be the most desirable form of exposure.

Preface- Thesis: Trying to fit into the context ...!

Préface

Self Critique 

First

Writing in english gives me the creeps. I do it though because i think that it is more direct than a translation. I refuse translators because they are people too. Their secret intention is to leave a mark as well. Which would be no problem but i want things to be raw. I hope that my intellectual sperm will hit you right in your face. How macho of me!

Second 

I have no time for you, i have to deal with my own illusions. "Trying to fit into the context …" is the work of a wannabe. A guy who's work is unfinished. In his illusions he strives for perfection. He can become part of this and/or that. A perfect postmodern soul who's aspirations will maybe become true, only if, complicated…. A fantastic, real existing man, who is no other, no better, not more what Peter Sloterdijk described as a soul who wants to immerse, to dive into radical mediocrity. 

Yeah partner thats me! 

Third

All researches are unfinished. That's how they appear in my head right now.I know and feel that i need three lives to get down all constructed, discovered and directed lines. I write the thesis in flight mode, which is a nice misunderstanding of mine. Because its a 'stand alone' mode. While on plane your mobile device allows you to use basic operations. Most important stuff you get when you're done. Landing! 

Fourth

Drugs, influences are here, there and everywhere.They come and go nothing remains, but things fly in and out while writing. I will try to write this thing in sober mode. No alcohol, maybe a joint not abused but convincing. I will not become the victim of my writings! 

Fifth

A method and there are others. Check your Facebook - Gmail conversations. People do not communicate, they use messages to make up their mind, nothing else!
