Part of the research I’m working on is figuring out what research I’m going to be working on. As part of that, I’ve been on the lookout for compelling artistic practices, cultural objects, social constructions, and other sorts of media studies-related hoo hah.
For a class last term, I found an artistic practice that played with what I called “the aesthetics of disintegration,” but might better be called “recursive remediation,” or something along those lines. For the benefit of the Internet (and mostly me), I’ve collected a bunch of examples of this kind of work, and interspersed my own comments on why I think they’re interesting. (RSS folks may have to click through for the second part until I get my full feed set up.)
