Hi Everyone,
Today I remembered that this video exists, and I felt like sharing because 1) Björk is awesome, and 2) This video of her explaining how her TV works made me think back to Kirschenbaum’s claims about how we interact with “the mechanisms” of our computers in imaginary or highly (re)-mediated ways.
This video also made me think back to one of our earliest board-based discussions: Does a TV count as a writing material? Certainly, if we are thinking about “the electrical age” as a whole, following McLuhan, the materiality of the TV and the computer seem connected. How do the digital and the electrical relate to one another? How do each relate to “writing(s)?”
Sorry if this seems too off-topic, but Joanna Drucker’s “A to screen” really resonated with Kirschenbaum for me. My font post is coming later.
