About Bureau of Inverse Technology

Formed in 1992, Bureau of Inverse Technology (BIT) is a real organization that exists in geographic dislocation (Melbourne, San Francisco, and Berlin). Its geography reinforces the ongoing distance-operation of BIT's experiments and other technological diversions. BIT questions the safety of the corporate imagination and its design upon our technological futures.
