The students of English 799: Making Media Theory are pleased to present the results of their course-based work at the Communitech Hub. These hacked-together, interactive projects reflect on complex theories such as brainwave storytelling, conductive upcycling, technosexuality, automated genocide, dirty media, digital devolution, and the value of uselessness.
In addition, Experimental Digital Media (XDM) MA student Brian Freiter will be presenting his immersive Major Research Project, which explores tactics for deflecting surveillance capitalism. Professor Marcel O’Gorman will also showcase his new video installation, “Treachery,” which premiered at Propellor Gallery in Toronto this summer. Finally, Critical Media Lab co-op interns Sridevi Kundurthi and Shelby Rose display an eye-opening animation that introduces high school students to responsible device usage.
