Hacking This Assignment

Through critical engagements with dead media artifacts, some of the dossiers on this site push the boundaries of the assignment, which was to engage with a piece of dead media, or a dead media problematic. The problem of death, or obsolescence, was raised in relation to the question of remediation; do media ever die, or are they simply incorporated into new media? The dossier on "The Market" explores this question, which is also covered on the page, "Mediatic Etymology."
