I have been thinking what makes the manifesto different with the internet. As you mentioned internet is a publishing infrastructure, how is it different from a medium in terms of performativity? I think temporality and spatiality is one of the aspects to think about it, also in terms of speed and scaling. I also think of Katherline Hayles's text: My Mother Was a Computer: Digital Subjects and Literary Texts, and in one of the chapters on "intermediation", it talks about textuality and computation which discusses a more unique aspect of code (or performativity of code if you wish). Perhaps it will be useful. (Winnie)
