- Title
Coding the Public Screen: Connections at the Nexus of Code, Affect, and the Stop Online Piracy Act.
- Authors
Faltesek, Daniel
- Abstract
This paper contends that protests against the Stop Online Piracy act in January 2012 were successful because of a unique connection of the legal structure of a policy controversy with the engineering of the code level of the Internet. To this end the paper proposes a critical aesthetic theory that distinguishes presentational and interactive elements of web programming as they contribute to the circulation of visual arguments on public screens.
