Zeitschrift für Medienwissenschaft 8: Medienästhetik (2013) [German]
Filed under journal | Tags: · aesthetics, art, cybernetics, media, media theory, networks, philosophy of technology, technology
Der Schwerpunkt «Medienästhetik» findet seinen Ausgangspunkt in einer Beobachtung Félix Guattaris, die in ihrer ganzen Dringlichkeit vermutlich erst heute einzusehen ist: Die Produktion von Subjektivität, die mit der allgemeinen Kybernetisierung der Lebensform einhergeht, wurde von Guattari als eine Frage der Ästhetik pointiert. Die medientechnologische Situation, die hinter dieser Neubewertung des Ästhetischen steckt, hat sich in den letzten zwanzig Jahren durch den Eintritt in eine Prozesskultur, wie sie die multiskalaren, netzwerkbasierten, environmentalen Medien des 21. Jahrhunderts bringen, ebenso verschärft wie ausdifferenziert.

“Part of a larger conversation that engages culture, technology, and politics, this collection of essays explores critical language for dealing with the qualities and modes of contemporary media. The essays, commissioned expressly for this volume, are organized into three interrelated groups: “Aesthetics” engages with terms that describe sensory experiences and judgments, “Technology” offers entry into a broad array of technological concepts, and “Society” opens up language describing the systems that allow a medium to function.”

Amodern 2: Network Archaeology (2013)
Filed under journal | Tags: · aesthetics, interface, media archeology, networks
“This special issue of Amodern features original research, initially presented in 2012 at the Network Archaeology conference at Miami University of Ohio, on the histories of networks, the discrete connections that they articulate, and the circulatory forms of data, information, and socio-cultural resources that they enable. Drawing from the field of media archaeology, we conceptualize network archaeology as a call to investigate networks past and present – using current networks to catalyze new directions for historical inquiry and drawing upon historical cases to inform our understanding of today’s networked culture. In this introduction, we elaborate how network archaeology opens up promising areas for critical investigation, new objects of study, and prospective sites for collaboration within the productively discordant approach of media archaeology.” (from the Editorial)
