“Everything is Animated: Pervasive Media and the Networked Subject” by BETH COLEMAN<\/p>\n

In a world of pervasive media and ubiquitous computing, this talk asks what happens as everything (objects, subjects, and actions) moves toward animation across a network. How does media and mediation affect our sense of agency? I use the example of A Scanner Darkly (dir. Linklater 2006) to discuss the effects of pervasive media and how it affects the parameters of self-reflection and agency. I look at issues surrounding mediated presence (copresence) and the threat to face-to-face engagement that pervasive media implies. The question I
\nask is: if as a society we are subjected to a pervasive mediation, how may we imagine modes of agency within an animated world?<\/p>\n

This talk is co-sponsored by the Department of Women’s Studies<\/a>, and will be held in the Women’s Studies Multimedia Studio, 0135 Taliaferro Hall.<\/p>\n

Dr. Beth Coleman’s work focuses on the role of human agency in the context of media and data engagement. She is currently a Harvard University Faculty Fellow at Berkman Center for Internet and Society and a visiting professor at the Institute of Network Cultures, Hogeschool van Amsterdam. From 2005-2011, Coleman has been an assistant professor of comparative media studies at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she is the primary investigator of the Pervasive Media\/City as Platform research and design lab. Her book Hello Avatar: Rise of the Networked Generation<\/a> is published by the MIT Press. She received her B.A. in literature from Yale University and her Ph.D in comparative literature from New York University.<\/p>\n

Coming up @MITH 11\/29: Beth Bonsignore, Ann Fraistat, Kari Kraus, Amanda Visconti, “It’s not a game to me:” ARGs, Game Design, and Secret Agents in the Schoolroom<\/p>\n
