But
with binary codes the physical artifact is lost, the tactility
of the object is denied. Investigation of work in a post-object
domain requires a new means of excavation. With cyber space
the tools are not simple shapes, the poetry is different,
there is a pivotal change, artifact will have changed forever.
Museums can not house characters, collectors can not touch
this coded information, they exist in a separate reality.
Here there are no stratigraphy, no archaeology, no artifact.
