MEDIA ARCHAEOLOGY

How can dissecting obsolete media inform contemporary media culture?

May 23–27, 2017

Through a mix of writing, thinking, discussing, and hands-on encounters with obsolete and forgotten apparatuses, participants were asked to scrutinize our rapidly-evolving media culture. 

Benefiting from the rich collection of the Concordia Residual Media Depot, students demystifed hardware modification, software hacking and digital forensics, and developed a critical and theoretical relationship with material media technologies.

Knowledge production in this area is seen as a collaborative process where participants from varying disciplines brought different approaches to the table. 

Have questions about summer and field schools in the Faculty of Arts and Science?
