The contributors to Assembly Codes examine how media and logistics
set the conditions for the circulation of information and culture.
They document how logistics-the techniques of organizing and
coordinating the movement of materials, bodies, and information-has
substantially impacted the production, distribution, and
consumption of media. At the same time, physical media, such as
paperwork, along with media technologies ranging from phone systems
to software are central to the operations of logistics. The
contributors interrogate topics ranging from the logistics of film
production and the construction of internet infrastructure to the
environmental impact of the creation, distribution, and sale of
vinyl records. They also reveal how logistical technologies have
generated new aesthetic and performative practices. In charting the
specific points of contact, dependence, and friction between media
and logistics, Assembly Codes demonstrates that media and logistics
are co-constitutive and that one cannot be understood apart from
the other. Contributors Ebony Coletu, Kay Dickinson, Stefano
