A dirty materialist ride through the media cultures of pirate radio, photography, the Internet, media art, cultural evolution, and surveillance.

In Media Ecologies, Matthew Fuller asks what happens when media systems interact. Complex objects such as media systems--understood here as processes, or elements in a composition as much as things--have become informational as much as physical, but without losing any of their fundamental materiality. Fuller looks at this multiplicitous materiality--how it can be sensed, made use of, and how it makes other possibilities tangible. He investigates the ways the different qualities in media systems can be said to mix and interrelate, and, as he writes, to produce patterns, dangers, and potentials.
