Arguing for a paleocybernetic approach to current media studies
debates, Nicolas Salazar Sutil develops an original framework for a
new media ecology that embraces the primitive, the prehistoric, and
the brute. Paying serious attention to materials used for cultural
mediation that are unprocessed, unexplained, and raw such as bones
and limestones, Salazar Sutil posits that advanced
industrialisation of new media technology has prompted
countercultural movements that call for radical new ways of
transmitting culture, for instance through an experiential and
high-tech appreciation of prehistoric landscape heritage. The
future calls for a Palaeolithic awareness of living landscape as
medium for the embodied transmission of cultural imaginaries and
memories. The more media technology spurs mass forms of
instantaneous media communication, the greater the need for
primitive knowledge of earthling body and earthly landscape, our
prime media for sustainable cultural transmission.
