We are thrilled to announce the publication of the dual book set Doing Experimental Media Archaeology: Theory, authored by Andreas Fickers and Annie van den Oever, and Doing Experimental Media Archaeology: Practice, authored by DEMA researchers Tim van der Heijden and Aleksander Kolkowski. The two books are published by De Gruyter Oldenbourg.
The dual-set publication explores the theory and practice of Experimental Media Archaeology as a hands-on approach to media history. We hope the books will be interesting for scholars and educators, who wish to explore the histories and cultures of media and communication technologies through hands-on inquiry and experimentation.
