I'm looking forward to being in conversation with @chchliu on "Ethnographies of the Datafied State," organized by the fantastic Digital Ethnography Working Group at Rutgers.
Join us on Zoom this Friday at 1 PM (EDT): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ethnographies-of-the-datafied-state-tickets-867694155577?aff=oddtdtcreator

Media and energy require joint theorization as they are bound together across contemporary informational and fossil regimes. Digital Energetics traces the contours of a media analytic of energy and an energy analytic of media across the cultural, environmental, and labor relations they subtend. Focusing specifically on digital operations, its authors analyze how data and energy ...It’s Open Access! Check it out!
