we sure are grateful that Monoskop is still alive and well! we finally created a page that links to nearly everything the lab has published (recent technical reports, zines, articles, books) along with workshops, exhibits, and media coverage over the years 💚 monoskop.org/Media_Archae...

our most recent residents, the artist collective Switcheristic Telecommunications, used their time to make pop-up book histories of pop-up advertising, and they are as delightful as you'd think

stunning results, thanks folks

there's still stuff out there, and we still want there to be less stuff out there... it's available til Monday

hey hey hey reminder that we are open over the summer! our hours are currently Tuesday afternoons from 1:30-4:30 and Friday 10-4, but we're working on orienting new volunteers later this week to hopefully expand that!

this is such an incredible undertaking

oh hello. we switched to Ghost for our monthly newsletters. they're always cute, clever, and informative, thanks to @rose-alibi.bsky.social - subscribe here if you'd like to keep up with events, call for residencies, news etc.! mediaarchaeologylab.ghost.io

we already have to cancel this week's CYBERDECKCLUB! because of a combination jury duty/dissertation defense sandwich, but we'll be back on next Wednesday!

we are working on another @mediaarchaeology.bsky.social zine! this one is called "How to Take a Decade to Repair a Computer (and Why You Should Too)
" and it's written in the context of permacomputing, computing within limits, and degrowth 💚 hopefully ready to mail out this summer #othernetworks

Did you catch the ghost hunting events at @mediaarchaeology.bsky.social with my coauthor Katherine Guinness a few months ago and wish you could have taken part? If you're in NYC in August, you can, when Katherine will be teaching about ghost hunting at the Strother School of Radical Attention!
