Deep Time of the Media: Toward an Archaeology of Hearing and Seeing by Technical Means

“Deep Time of the Media” takes us on an archaeological quest into the hidden layers of media development — dynamic moments of intense activity in media design and construction that have been largely ignored in the historical-media archaeological record. Siegfried Zielinski argues that the history of the media does not proceed predictably from primitive tools to complex machinery; in “Deep Time of the Media”, he illuminates turning points of media history — fractures in the predictable — that help us see the new in the old.
