Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A quest to find something new by excavating the 'deep time' of media's developmentnot by simply looking at new media's historic forerunners, but by connecting models, machines, technologies, and accidents that have until now remained separated.Deep Time of the Media takes us on an archaeological quest into the hidden layers of media developmentdynamic moments of intense activity in media design and construction that have been largely ignored in the historicalmedia archaeological record. Siegfried Zielinski argues that the history of the media does not proceed predictably from primitive tools to complex machinery; in Deep Time of the Media, he illuminates turning points of media historyfractures in the predictablethat help us see the new in the old.Drawing on original source materials, Zielinski explores the technology of devices for hearing and seeing through two thousand years of cultural and technological history. He discovers the contributions of 'dreamers and modelers' of media worlds, from the ancient Greek philosopher Empedocles and natural philosophers of the Renaissance and Baroque periods to Russian avantgardists of the early twentieth century. 'Media are spaces of action for constructed attempts to connect what is separated,' Zielinski writes. He describes models and machines that make this connection: including a theater of mirrors in sixteenthcentury Naples, an automaton for musical composition created by the seventeenthcentury Jesuit Athanasius Kircher, and the eighteenthcentury electrical telewriting machine of Joseph Mazzolari, among others. Uncovering these moments in the mediaarchaeological record, Zielinski says, brings us into a new relationship with presentday moments; these discoveries in the 'deep time' media history shed light on today's media landscape and may help us map our expedition to the media future.
