Knowledge in and of the Anthropocene
要旨:
Media technologies have always been decisive for the epistemic registers and imaginations humans create and associate with nature. In his essay, media scholar Adam Wickberg outlines how knowledge about the environment and media technologies have always evolved in tandem; the history of anthropogenic markers can therefore be understood as a process of environing media. Getting us from the chemical composition of the atmosphere to pre-Columbian Amazonia to the rise of computational media in the late twentieth century, Wickberg chronicles and illustrates how anthropogenic markers are now a subset of a generically mediated planet.
