How are human actions shaped by the materiality of media?
Contemporary media leads us more than ever to an 'acting at a
distance,' an acting entangled with the materiality of
communication and the mediality of transmission. This book explores
this crucial phenomenon thereby introducing urgent questions of
human interaction, the binding and breaking of time and space, and
the entanglement of the material and the immaterial. Three vivid
inquiries deal with histories and theories of mediality and
materiality: John Durham Peters looks at episodes of simultaneity
and synchronization. Christina Vagt discusses the agency of
computer models against the backdrop of aesthetic theories by Henri
Bergson and Hans Blumenberg, and Florian Sprenger discusses early
electrical transmissions through copper wire and the temporality of
instantaneity.
