Each entry explains when it may help, gives you an exercise and an example, then asks a question about the result.

The artist is always a jump ahead of technology, and is engaged in giving you what sort of effects it’s likely to have upon you later on. Pop art simply tells you the only only art form left for you today is your own natural environment. You now have to programme it as a work of art and an environment. To suddenly become confronted with the need to use the human environment itself as the art form is one way of drawing attention to the fact that new environments created by new media require a certain amount of human programming and control for our psychic life.
