"MetaMedia"
“MetaMedia” is an online symposium at the University of Chicago that revisits the question of self-reference and self-criticism in both old and new media. Across three presentations, we ask: What does it mean to think of “medium specificity” in our twenty-first century transmedia ecology? How do media evolve? What is their relation to technology, social conditions, and political movements? And then, more precisely, what can we learn from media about media?
