Through its mobile agencies, Blast aims to identify and employ critical artistic strategies in the global communications network -- strategies that, whether found or intentionally produced, counter the normative programming and "lifestyling" of the globalized culture industry. Historically-engaged and literate in media techniques, these strategic practices seek to prompt awareness of the techniques used in the deployment of images and the importance of political economy as a means of understanding their forms and developments. Resisting ideologies of seamless, utopic connectivity, Blast politicizes the state of representation within the network, positioning the net as a field of complex struggles for the terms of communication and materialization. // To this end, Blast has abandoned the standard, instrumental editorial approach in the search of an alternate procedural relationship to its object of study. It is no longer structured as a series of sequential "issues" following the conventions of print media; instead, it adopts a flexible, multi-channel format that is more adequate to the simultaneous, overlapping formations of digital culture. It scatters into an array of devices and procedures that are grouped together in alternate ways. Becoming small, situational, and highly mobile, Blast assumes the form of a catalyzing agent, allying itself with various organizations and groups in order to accomplish highly specific tasks. Through temporary coalitions and precise, strategic interventions, it builds communicative alliances, opens critical spaces, and develops new interpretation-formats.
