Life Squared - revisiting the work of artist Lynn Hershman in the online world Second Life

How do you document what is left of the past?

How do you write of a memory?

How should archaeologists write and represent their work?

These questions are at the core of my research in archaeology. I have not stopped at commentary and critique. My lab, Metamedia, undertakes all sorts of experimental work trying out different media. We also are trying to develop new theories and agendas by using experience of new digital media to prompt thinking about media in general.

This is practice as research - learning through doing.

And with an archaeological focus - we are developing media archaeology.
