Colleagues,


We will be discussing, and celebrating, two new publications at this event on Tues 7th March.


Please do join us if you're able to...


Experiencing Digital Culture


Jussi Parikka and Tony D. Sampson’s work has threaded its way through the digital cultures field by means of a series of radical interventions, drawing on such concepts as anomalies, accidents, assemblages, contagions, events, nonrepresentation, affect and neuroculture, in order to critically rethink how the power of the digital age is experienced and embodied.


In this discussion the two theorists follow some of these fibrous conceptual strands as they intersect and overlap with each other in two recent publications: the new revised edition of Parikka’s landmark Digital Contagions: A Media Archaeology of Computer Viruses (Peter Lang, 2016) and Sampson’s new book, The Assemblage Brain: Sense Making in Neuroculture (University of Minnesota Press, 2016).


The discussion will be followed by a joint book launch and drinks in the Somerset Café.


Location: Anatomy Lecture Theatre (K.6.29) Strand Campus

When: 07/03/2017 (19:00-21:00)
