Love affairs inside the machine wreak havoc with a human-user and her own relationship to technology crumbles while The Pretenders croon about a thin line between love and hate. Part of the audio art sketch series, Micro-Texts, which consist of 11 creatively produced commentaries that explore the cultural impact of technology. Produced weekly in the last three months of 2000 for the PRI-distributed "Beyond Computers," each piece still reflects a contemporary view of how machines are ruling our lives. Please note: there's a 20-second tail of music trailing from the 1:59 piece.
