Zombie Media
A talk by CoDE Director Dr Jussi Parikka
Date: 25 January 2011
Venue: Coventry University
This talk gave an insight into how we can reimagine media archaeology as an artistic methodology of circuit bending and reinventing old media into new uses - something we refer to as 'zombie' media instead of dead media. Dr Parikka addressed how the methodologies of reuse and opening up old technology can be seen as crucial artistic methodologies to address the political economy of closed consumer technologies - and how this links up with the ecological crisis of information waste.
The talk was based on the text co-written by Garnet Hertz and Parikka, and nominated for the Transmediale 2011 Media Theory Award. It was part of the Coventry University Media and Communications Department Research Seminar series, which in 2011 focused on the theme of Open Media.
