A collection of essays on media, technology and infrastructure, in French, published with the Presses du réel, Petite collection ArTeC. Series editor Yves Citton, translated from the English by Igor Galligo and Armelle Chrétien.
The book includes "Critical Infrastructure" (Allen & Gauthier), "Signal Aesthetics" (Allen & Jordan), "Sitting On Top of the World" (Allen) and "Beyond the Media Reveal" (Allen) and features an introduction by Marie Lechner and an afterword by Julie Beth Napolin.
How do we perceive and think about the infrastructures that condition the ways in which we perceive, think and experience our world? Four essays by Jamie Allen, whose experiments as artist and researcher cross media, disciplines and borders, that invite us to make visible the backstage work of the digitized world, and to think (post)critically about the very notion of critique.
