Going beyond current scholarship on the "media city" and the "smart
city," Shannon Mattern argues that our global cities have been
mediated and intelligent for millennia. Deep Mapping the Media City
advocates for urban media archaeology, a multisensory approach to
investigating the material history of networked cities. Mattern
explores the material assemblages and infrastructures that have
shaped the media city by taking archaeology literally-using
techniques like excavation and mapping to discover the modern
city's roots in time. Forerunners: Ideas First is a
thought-in-process series of breakthrough digital publications.
Written between fresh ideas and finished books, Forerunners draws
on scholarly work initiated in notable blogs, social media,
conference plenaries, journal articles, and the synergy of academic
exchange. This is gray literature publishing: where intense
thinking, change, and speculation take place in scholarship.
