Signals, symbols, codes and pictures on television, newspapers, mobile phones, internet and even in the street, this is our life in the new era. This mix is part of our unreal communication system nowdays. Under a cover in red and white letters, "Muntadas: m/m" alerts about the perception like a double-edged sword. This publication is made by cuts that Muntadas collected in the media world , sometimes images, sometimes text, sometimes computer codes, building an incoherent structure of elements removed from their original context. He picks up parts of photos or parts of sentences leaving them without message, denying their informative and communicative task.
