This dossier on Media Archaeology provides further reading around the mini-festival An Archaeology of Imaginary Media, which was held at De Balie, February 5 - 8, 2004. The dossier contains a number of key-texts on Media Archaeology, a relatively new approach to writing media history. The dossier also provides links to key-thinkers in the field, most of whom participated in our project on imaginary media.

Video registrations of all lectures can be found in this dossier.

Currently the Book of Imaginary Media (and DVD) is in preparation, which will be published by mid November 2006 by NAi Publishers and De Balie. Updates on the publication and the launch of the book on Monday December 4, 2006 will be made available here.


 

I shall now launch a few probes into the strata of stories that we can conceive of as the history of the media in order to pick up signals from the butterfly effect, in a few localities at least, regarding both: the hardware and the software of the audio-visual. I name this approach media archaeology, which in a pragmatic perspective means to dig out secret paths in history, which might help us to find our way into the future...

Siegfried Zielinski



I would like to make a few preliminary remarks about an approach I call "media archeology".
