About the Postfuturistic Encyclopedia:
" The Postfuturistic Encyclopedia è un processo creativo che prosegue finì dove suoni e immagini digitali, uniti tra di loro in modo pseudo-organico, formano modelli dinamici che stabiliscono quali particolari souni ed immagini assumeranno importanza nel contesto sucessivo. È una strada percorsa dalla coscienca per attraversare il mondo ed avviare un processo interattivo tra la posizione individuale e ciò che noi definiamo il mondo esteriore."
L´IMMAGINE LEGGERA. Palermo International Videoart Festival. 2-10 Oct. 1998. From the exhibition catalogue.

" The Postfuturistic Encyclopedia is een project waarin digitale beeiden en geluiden - aan elkaar gekoppeld op pseudo-organische wijze - dynamische patronen vormen die bepalen welke specifeike beeiden en geluiden relevant zijn in de context van het vervolg. De interactie tussen het individu en de - zogenaamde - buitenwereld staat centraal. "
IMPACT Festival for audiovisual arts in Utrecht. 1999. From the exhibition catalogue.
" Postfuturism ", writes Backlund, " doesn't really explain anything. It pays attention with a specific range of consciousness that is above and beyond deception by verbal formula." The Postfuturistic Encyclopedia can be interpreted as an ongoing creative process, on cdrom, where the user-selected images and sounds - linked to each other in a pseudo-organic way - form dynamic patterns that later determine new images and sounds.
