| Introduction | . . . "The otaku, the passionate obsessive, the information age's embodiment of the connoisseur, more concerned with the accumulation of data than objects, seems a natural crossover figure in today's interface of British and Japanese cultures. I see it in the eyes of the Portobello dealers, and in the eyes of the Japanese collectors: a perfectly calm train-spotter frenzy, murderous and sublime. Understanding the otaku-hood, I think, is one of the keys to understanding the culture of the web. There is something profoundly post-national about it, extra-geographic. We are all curators, in the post-modern world, whether we want to be or not." --Spook Country, April 2001 edition of The Observer ____________________________ Please note the artwork, videos and pictures featured on this blog belong to their respective creators, publishers and studios.
