A Manifesto by Grenzfurthner
A specific use is never inherent to an object, even though technical demagogues like to claim that it is (cf. the term "self-explanatory" and the term "archeological find"). Instead, the use is concatenated with the object through definition ("instructions for use"). Turning an object against the use inscribed in it (as sociolect of the world of things) means probing its possibilities.
