Elinor Carmi: Crossing the Line: Testing the boundaries of media technologies

March 17, 2021

Every inventor or owner of media technology wants you to use it in a particular way. But what happens when people ignore these terms of use and want to test media’s boundaries? This talk will examine how specific forms of information and behaviours are considered to cross the line of legitimacy in media technologies. By looking at examples such as noise and spam, this talk will show what are the political forces behind such processes of categorisation, what are the consequences for humans and non-humans, and the way that you understand and engage with media technologies.

Elinor is a PhD candidate at the Media and Communications department at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Her research topic is “Don’t you want me? The power and politics of unwanted forms of information in media technologies”.
