“How does a gathering become a ‘happening’, that is greater than a sum of its parts? One answer is contamination, make way for others. As contamination changes world-making projects, mutual worlds—and new directions—may emerge.”

The wheel's hub holds thirty spokes
Utility depends on the hole through the hub.
The potter's clay forms a vessel.
It is the space within that serves.
A house is built with solid walls
The nothingness of window and door alone renders it usable,
That which exists may be transformed
What is non-existent has boundless uses.

Creation of space

What anthropology can contribute to information technology is then a less misinterpreted notion of “context” in ethnographic research, which is often limited to an analysis of actions and interactions constrained by instances of individuals, situations and workplaces in the study; while lacking an understanding of the socio-cultural, historical and environmental factors that may affect the interaction. According to Pfaffenberger, the distinctive combination of small-scale, local-level observational studies with holism — the study of interrelated components of a system or society — is uniquely suited to exploring the complex relationships between technology and culture. What cyber-anthropology can specifically provide then, is, the set of contextual socio-cultural, historical and environmental factors in relation to modern age, with recently established social communities and new forms of human interaction bought by the Internet and new technologies.
