MediaMatters

De onderstaande tekst is niet beschikbaar in het Nederlands en wordt in het Engels weergegeven.

MediaMatters is an international book series published by Amsterdam University Press on current debates about emerging and transforming cultural practices that engage with (new) media technologies. Contributions to the series critically analyse and theorise the materiality, spatiality, mobility and performativity of these practices in book projects that engage with today’s dynamic digital media culture.

MediaMatters focuses on objects and practices such as: installation art; (digital) performance; site-specific theater; time-based art; experimental film and video; digital and new media art; motion capture; telematics; looping media and digital GIFs; glitch media; cybernetics, robots and AI; virtual reality, augmented and mixed reality; screen media; interactive media, haptic/tactile media; mobile media; tactical media; ecological art and media; media architecture; new museum and exhibition practices.

Key themes are:

situatedness and site-specificity of media, art and performance
transformations and (re-)configurations of materials, spaces, movements, and bodies in media, art and performance
visuality and visibility in the age of the digital interfaces
media ecologies
media and the environment
participatory practices, interactive engagements, and transforming publics in contemporary screen and performance culture
the role of media technologies in (urban) public spaces
the materiality and performativity of digital technologies
