The media that we make with are machines and some in media studies describe them as technical media. They involve technics, technology, industry. A key feature of technical media is its indifferent sampling of the world. It doesn’t much care for what we care about as it records. Sam picks this point up.
Nora offers us a list poem. Wonderful! (And this is one of my favourite ‘list’ songs).
Louis is starting to think about how this matters to documentary and media making. Nora, earlier, has some commentary on the Greek origins of onto. Jialu has a good question about animism, the closer term is vitalism, and Jane Bennett’s Vibrant Matter is the difficult read to begin with here. Isobel answers here own question about ontology and ontography, and Jialu, again, thinks about surrendering agency to technology
