Reading the Machine, Writing the Archive
- Media Archaeology Case Studies -
Lori Emerson, University of Colorado Boulder
Tuesday, September 10, 3:30-5pm HC L-3
Emerson will discuss how the Media Archaeology Lab (the MAL) at the University of Colorado Boulder promotes scholarly and critical practice by conjoining media archaeology, media poetics, and archival research. The MAL was founded in 2009 to support cross-disciplinary experimental research and teaching that actively uses still-functioning but obsolete hardware and software.
In addition to directing the Media Archaeology Lab, Emerson is the author of Reading Writing Interfaces: From the Digital to the Bookbound (Minnesota 2014) and co-editor of The Johns Hopkins Guide to Digital Media (2014), Writing Surfaces: The Selected Fiction of John Riddell (WLUv2013), and The Alphabet Game: A bpNichol Reader (Coach House 2007).
