Season 4: Media Objects

As media theorist Stefan Rieger puts it, “Nothing is not a medium,” which is not to say that “everything is a medium.” A medium depends on how we think of it and how it makes us think. Each episode in The Media Object will consider a different media object, from office plants and listservs, to hieroglyphs, HTML, and mixtapes. We aren’t going to be talking at you in this one very much. Episodes will comprise a series of scenes, quotes, vignettes, and other fragments, all threaded together through sound. Season 4 is produced in collaboration with Cornell University.
