Abstract

To understand how preeminent scholars and creative practitioners approach the topic of technology today, Nicholas Baer and Annie van den Oever invited them to reflect on a series of questions: What drew them to technology as a matter of inquiry, and how have developments of the past decade extended, shifted, or even challenged their thinking? What is a recent media-technological development that bears on their work, and how does the contemporary mediascape realign the relations between techne, technique, and technology? Which theoretical, historiographical, and methodological approaches are especially generative, and which texts warrant further attention? Finally, how does their work think through (geo)political issues such as power, access, and accountability; participation, engagement, and activism; and racial, social, and environmental justice?
