=====================================================

Territory as a pure geopolitical, physical, and material space is
gone. Territory is now a much broader concept. Our intellectual
concepts, our books, our works, and above all, our archives, are the
new territories. Giving, contributing concepts, is, therefore, a
gesture of expanding and broadening the concept of territory
itself. In the first period of capitalism (if we think of the Fredric
Jameson conceptualisation) the question of territory was connected
with its geographical aspect; it was bound to colonial ventures. Today
surplus value can be produced in dematerialised territory: this is the
case with the Internet.  Internet space is the new territory.

Today, instead of talking about the production of space, which was
connected with the modernistic venture and the colonial mind, we must
talk about the production of time in relation to territory and
space. Space is gaining a new dematerialised form, and it is all bound
to time. Access to such space is inherently connected to questions of
time, to the speed of modems, as there is no longer a question of the
conquest of a physical territory, but of converting time into
accessible zones.
