DEEP TIME OF THE MEDIA

Deep Time of the Media takes us on an archaeological quest into the hidden layers of media development -- dynamic moments of intense activity in media design and construction that have been largely ignored in the historical-media archaeological record. Siegfried Z ielinski argues that the history of the media does not proceed predictably from primitive tools to complex machinery/ in Deep Time o f the Media, he illuminates turning points of media history--fractures in the predictable--that help us see the new in the old.
