The New Media Workshop provides a forum for faculty and graduate students to discuss the innovation and obsolescence of media, where these overlapping, asynchronous events are understood through social practices and lived experience. Spurred by the ongoing, but always uneven impact of media on everyday life, and the most recent materialization of media as ÒnewÓ and digital, we explore the historical intersections of technology, culture, politics, and aesthetics. The New Media Workshop is committed to fostering critical dialogue on all aspects of mediated experience, and invites participation from across the disciplines.
