Outline:

This collection brings together artists, curators, programmers, 
theorists and heavy internet browsers whose practices make critical 
intervention into the broad concept of execution. It draws attention to 
their political strategies, asking: who and what is involved with those 
practices, and for whom or what are these practices performed, and how? 
 From the contestable politics of emoji modifier mechanisms and 
micro-temporalities of computational processes to genomic exploitation 
and the curating of digital content, the chapters account for gendered, 
racialised, spatial, violent, erotic, artistic and other embedded forms 
of execution. Together they highlight a range of ways in which execution 
emerges and how it participates within networked forms of liveliness.
