From Greek antiquity to the present, from the book to the
gramophone, from Gutenberg to Google, our culture is defined by
changes in recording, storage, and transmission media. In a
six-volume selection of his writings, Peter Weibel presents an
encyclopedia that addresses all areas of the media world. The
author has conceived this series as following in the tradition of
the Enlightenment and the Encyclopedie by Denis Diderot and Jean
Baptiste le Rond d'Alembert. After two volumes covering
architecture and music, volume 3 and 4 will be published in 2018
addressing the influence of the new media on art and literature.
Politics and theory in the context of new media are the topics of
volume 5 and 6 that are also in preparation.

author has conceived this series as following in the tradition of
the Enlightenment and the Encyclopedie by Denis Diderot and Jean
Baptiste le Rond d'Alembert. Three volumes will be published in
September 2014, and the remaining three in spring 2015. Volume one
deals with a broad definition of architecture in the context of new
media. Volume two is devoted to media-relat ed innovations in the
area of music-from automatic methods of composition in the music of
Mozart to a theory of molecular music. Volume three addresses the
impact of new media on art and discusses how pictures become
interactive and viewers become part of the work-how reality
replaces representation. The themes of the other three volumes are
literature, pol itics, and theory in the context of new media.
