Description
The geology of media emerges from the perspective of materialist and post-anthropocentric thinking, which emphasizes the relationship between culture and the material realities that condition it. Jussi Parikka examines the world of media as a material component of the geological sphere: he explores processes of extraction that enable their existence, or their afterlife in the form of electronic waste and future fossils. He describes the environmental, social, and economic context of new media culture and shatters illusions about its 'purity' and 'immateriality.' His book is not only an important contribution to debates about media technologies, new materialism, and the Anthropocene, but also a guide to contemporary artistic practice that responds to these phenomena.
