This is a preliminary version of a document comprising ten statements, numbered from 0 to 9, which delineate the underlying principles, strategic approaches and aesthetic manifestations of the critical notion of ‘Algorithmic Sabotage’ within the framework of digital culture and information technology.
"rrrreflect Journal of Integrated Design Research" is a publication of KISDedition, the publishing department of Köln International School of Design (KISD). rrrreflect is a digital open-access journal that publishes outstanding works of student and faculty design research at KISD under the Creative Commons license CC-BY. It is published online and archived as a publication series by Cologne Open Science. With this design research journal, we open up an experimental field for textual and non-textual forms of knowledge, including image, video and sound.

Julian Stallabrass, Memories of the Present, NLR 148, July–August 2024
What forms of criticism should be brought to bear on the pseudo-realist ‘photographs’ produced by prompts to AI programmes? Julian Stallabrass gets a bead on these thrice-alienated products of human image-making by framing them within information-science concepts of cultural entropy and philosophical considerations on déjà vu.
