This book presents the creative, arts-based and educative thinking
resulting from a "21 day autoethnography challenge" set of
self-guided prompts arising from the large-scale collaborative,
creative, and global project to explore Massive and Microscopic
Sensemaking during COVId-19 Times. It employs a guiding
methodological framework of critical autoethnography, narrating the
macro and micro experiences of COVID-19 from a first-person, and
critically, culturally-informed perspective. The book features
chapters creatively responding to the 21-day pandemic experiment
through digital autoethnographic artworks, writings, and
collaborations. It allowed authors to build embodied sensibilities,
practice autoethnographic forms of writing and making, and
transform personal experiences through the COVID-19 moment into
critical understanding of scale, sense-making, and the
relationality of humans, nonhumans, and the planet.
What happens when the internet is absorbed into everyday life? How
do we make sense of something that is invisible but still so
central? A group of digital culture experts address these questions
in Metaphors of Internet: Ways of Being in the Age of Ubiquity.
Twenty years ago, the internet was imagined as standing apart from
humans. Metaphorically it was a frontier to explore, a virtual
world to experiment in, an ultra-high-speed information
superhighway. Many popular metaphors have fallen out of use, while
new ones arise all the time. Today we speak of data lakes, clouds
and AI. The essays and artwork in this book evoke the mundane, the
visceral, and the transformative potential of the internet by
exploring the currently dominant metaphors. Together they tell a
story of kaleidoscopic diversity of how we experience the internet,
offering a richly textured glimpse of how the internet has both
disappeared and at the same time, has fundamentally transformed
everyday social customs, work, and life, death, politics, and
embodiment.
