Just finished Outer Range (2002) and now I'm reading a few major-outlet reviews.

And it brings back my old amusement/skepticism about reviews -- the sense that there is no such thing as a qualified, well-informed POV that can give you a good aesthetic vantage point on art.

This feels like one of those forms of cynicism that's troubling, right up until you completely surrender to it, at which point perhaps it becomes... freeing?

πŸ“„πŸ“£ Our paper on and was just published in Environment & Planning F! A colleague and I had been working on this for YEARS.

The paper itself draws together the history of meteorology, media theory, and phenomenology to make sense of 2 ethnographies of sensing weather.

The paper is available here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.11

TOUCHPOINTS

Does essence necessarily precede contingency? (I think "yes" is the intuitive answer)

But doesn't noise necessarily precede signal? (I think this one is "yes" as well)

In my book I quoted a 1990 Boston Globe piece declaring VR no match for a walk in the woods; this week I was reminded Mark Weiser's famous 1991 essay also says computing should be "as refreshing as taking a walk in the woods." Goes back to Thoreau I suppose (and Heidegger), but wondering now about the history of this rather-be-in-the-woods school of technology

Because I have to understand media. Then new media, the new media in the new way I havent already, then about remediation. Thanks Macluhan.....

But for real. I'm very excited to read this. It came up through a prof that had been hearing my thesis proposal and thought I should check it out.

Also: if ever you're looking at my work and want to hear about it just hit me up!
