MAKING. MEDIA. THEORY. A Critical Media Lab Showcase

These hacked-together, interactive projects reflect on complex theories such as brainwave storytelling, conductive upcyclying, technosexuality, automated genocide, dirty media, digital devolution, and the value of uselessness. 

In addition, XDM MA student Brian Freiter will be presenting his immersive Major Research Project, which explores tactics for deflecting surveillance capitalism. Professor O’Gorman will also showcase his new video installation, “Treachery,” which premiered at Propellor Gallery in Toronto this summer.
