Pisar a fondo el freno aun sabiendo que el golpe será inevitable. Así es este libro. Un reencuentro con el amor que no fue, con la infancia que pasó, con la tristeza que nunca quisimos que nos sucediera, un volver a encontrarte en el mismo pupitre de antes, ante la puerta de la chica que te gustaba, ante la boca de metro del primer beso o frente a su boca. A secas. Asumible y directo, como un gancho de derechas a la mandíbula, como un tenemos que hablar, como palabras necesarias que duelen tanto como curan. Una poesía llena de madrugadas frías y regazos.Daniel Rivera (Medina del Campo, 1992) aprendió a escribir leyendo. Un día comprendió que las palabras escritas se le daban mejor que las habladas y empezó a contar las cosas que le hubiese gustado poder decir en voz alta.

How can we imagine a technologized life that deviates from globalized norms and standardization and from our collective obsession with endless growth? ​In 'Deserted Devices and Wasted Fences', artist and cultural critic Dani Ploeger examines everyday technologies found in places and circumstances that are usually unforeseen by their designers, manufacturers and marketers. He travels through second-hand markets in sub-Saharan Africa, the frontline in the Russo-Ukrainian War, desert landscapes in the Middle East, anti-immigration fences on the EU border and many other sites of turmoil, disruption and surprising convergences. Examining the ways in which technologies that were intended for use in everyday consumer culture start to (mal)function, gain new meanings and are appropriated in these liminal spaces can give us hints at what alternative techno-cultures could look like. This collection of essays provokes unusual perspectives on how technologies might be developed, used and reappropriated in support of people’s personal, local and regional lifeworlds and lifestyles.

She explores constellations and cultures, enjoys environmental escapades, all whilst learning why we are addicted to light and why it is ruining our lives.
