Zombie Media: Circuit Bending Media Archaeology into an Art Method

A talk by Dr Jussi Parikka and Dr Garnet Hertz

Date: Thursday 3 February 2011
Time: 15.00
Venue: Transmediale 2011 festival, Berlin

CoDE Director Dr Jussi Parikka and Dr Garnet Hertz (University of California, Irvine) presented their 2010 paper, in which they approach media archaeology with the aim of making it into an art methodology. Following a presentation of their ideas, the speakers invited participants to enact the process of circuit bending, disassembling battery powered devices such as toys to subsequently perform with their customised instruments.

The text was nominated for the Vilem Flusser theory award.
