About

Doing Experimental Media Archaeology: Practice & Theory (DEMA) is a research project, which aims to study the potential of hands-on experimentation so as to better understand and experience the materiality of old media technologies and their practices of use. It will provide a systematic reflection on the methodological underpinnings of experimental media archaeology as a practical and sensorial approach to media historiography.

DEMA is an FNR-CORE funded research project. It is hosted by the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) of the University of Luxembourg.
