running notes Feb 2007
media are material modes of engagement - processes
media as sensory prosthetics filtering, mapping, translating, sieving, directing attention
media as therefore embedded in instrumentality
media as mediators in the construction of knowledge
need to open up the black boxes that are at the heart of conventional understanding of media
as chains of translation
photo as photowork rather than a black box of a camera
archaeological practice at best hangs on to things, retaining the field and the object
