Poetics of Encryption: Art and the Technocene Samman Nadim
A critical appraisal of art's entanglement in technological encryption "We are all inside this thing--but how?" This book explores 21st-century art's reckonings with the technosphere.

Outlining the concept of encryption that underlies this infrastructural condition, Samman explores motifs of confinement, capture and burial, as well as access and exclusion from secured domains.
