#newmedia — Public Fediverse posts

#Progressive #Americans are turning to independent #podcasts, #socialmedia, and #digitalnews sites for #politicalinformation, bypassing traditional media outlets. This shift mirrors the rise of conservative #alternativemedia and has empowered progressive candidates who might otherwise be overlooked. The growing influence of this #newmedia ecosystem is evident in recent electoral successes and the increasing visibility of independent commentators. https://apnews.com/article/democratic-party-media-independent-progressive-michigan-3e58cbddb0641643e2f390722c4fab6a?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

'It doesn’t matter what transformative anticapitalist, antiracist or antiheteropatriarchal ideas we profess in the content of our work. They can be inspired by Karl Marx, Audre Lorde, Gilles Deleuze, María Lugones, Walter Mignolo, Angela Davis, bell hooks, Alain Badiou, Donna Haraway, Silvia Federici, Byung-Chul Han, Benjamin Bratton … whoever. But when it comes to our knowledge-making practices – the taken-for-granted forms our writing takes, the habitual ways in which we disseminate and monetise it, the associated upholding of notions of individualism, human rights and property rights – we still have to operate according to what is actually a Euro-Western, modernist and middle-class, straight white male model of the humanities researcher.'

Latest title in Open Humanities Press's MEDIA : ART : WRITE : NOW series:

Masked Media: What It Means to Be Human in the Age of Artificial Creative Intelligence by Gary Hall

http://www.openhumanitiespress.org/books/titles/masked-media/

Open access
(= it can be downloaded for free)

If we want a socially and environmentally just future, do we need a radical new theory of change – or to radically change theory? It’s this question Gary Hall and his collaborators have been addressing for over 20 years with experimental projects such as OHP, Liquid and Living Books, and the Culture-Led Re-Commoning of Cities. Unsettling received ideas of the author and book, originality and copyright, real and artificial intelligence, these theorist-mediums test the ‘non-modernist-liberal’ modes of creating and sharing knowledge enabled by media technologies, from writing and print, through photography and video, to computers and GenAI.

If we want a socially and environmentally just future, do we need a radical new theory of change – or to radically change theory? Unsettling received ideas of the author and the book, originality and copyright, real and artificial intelligence, Masked Media tests ‘non-modernist-liberal’ modes of creating and sharing knowledge enabled by media technologies, from writing through to GenAI. Thinking outside the black box that renders Euro-Western knowledge-making practices invisible – keeping the human ontologically separate from the nonhuman – it shows there’s no such thing as the human, the nonhuman already being in(the)human.

I really like Arcade Idea's stuff. Their latest piece on NES classic "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out" is no exception.

If you haven't kept up with Aaron Reed's 50 Years of Text Games project, the ebook is on sale now. There's some physical stock, too, but I don't know what that's like. There's a free chapter on A Mind Forever Voyaging if you want a taste.
