Consider the following points you may address in your project:

• How do cyberpunks reconfigure the self as an assemblage designed toward an evolution of humanity and a liberation from oppressive political forces? 

 
• How does language function (especially in cyberspace) as a mode of liberation from the "real" toward new possibilities? 

• What sort of space is cyberspace and what sort of self is capable of occupying this space?  This may include a discussion about  layers of consciousness and physical (dis)embodiment along with mental/physical descriptions of speed, "seeing," (inter)connectedness, etc.  
  
  
• Discuss how technology remediates the self.  How does VR occupy the faultline between Cartesian self and embodied knowledge.  See chapters 16 and 1 of Remediations. 
  
  
• How does cyberspace manifest smooth and striated space?  What sort of self occupies these spaces?

Format of your project:

• Because of the nature of this project, you are free to choose the form by which you want to discuss problems of representation. Your choice of form (paper, digital, video, audio) should help you emphasize the problems I have chosen for you to address. 

 
• You may work alone or in a group.  Either choice should be part of your discussion of representing a self as unified or assemblage.  If we are assembled selves, then you never work alone but with your various proto-subjects (proto-"selves").  If you work in a group, well, since each of us is already several, there will be quite a crowd!

 
• Should you choose a paper, you should follow the length and format guidelines of our Blade Runner assignment.   If you choose a hypertext project, follow the guidelines of our Picturesque and the Kodak Moment project.  For each additional person in your group beyond the first person, add another 60% to the required length of the project.
