Ny bok – läsning-apparat-algoritm

Vilken betydelse har tejp för litteraturen? Hur blir poesi signaler? Vad förenar skrivande och räknande? Dessa och andra frågor står i fokus i den nyutkomna boken läsning-apparat-algoritm (OEI editör) av Jesper Olsson från RepRecDigit. Boken kan beskrivas som en serie försök att läsa mediernas historia genom litteraturen – och vice versa – och dess texter rör sig från telegraf och bandspelare till de konstellationer av skärmar, algoritmer, läsare och skrivare som utgör en samtida mediearkipelag.

New History on the Nordic Avant-Garde Just Out

Just out is the 850-page tome A Cultural History on the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries 1950–1975 (Brill). The book covers a wide range of avant-garde manifestations in literature, art, architecture, film, radio, and performative arts during the postwar decades. Not least it includes a section of essays on artistic practices and new media. The volume is edited by Tania Ørum and Jesper Olsson, and contains a number of contributions by Olsson as well as by Jonas Ingvarsson, both members of RepRecDigit.

Among the many contributions in the first issue are essays on botanical desire, agency, and word processing as madness – as well as fascinating artistic projects with a media archaeological twist.
