Reliquary for the Digital in Nine Key Words 0 / Site / Elizabeth Reich and Stephen Yeager

Experiment with us in reorganizing (academic) disciplinarity between art, socio-politics, multi-media, and histories of labor, discourse, and technology. This site allows you to join a collaboration between Steve Shaviro, Francisco Robles, John Landreville, Kevin Ball, Mary Zaborskis, Jen Reich, Shakti Jaising, Omari Weekes, Cynthia Quarrie, Issraa Faiz, Elizabeth Reich, and Stephen Yeager–presented with the help of Irenae Aigbedion and Alexandra Kingston-Reese–in which we identify continuities (rather than ruptures) between times, methods, and objects that do not usually speak to each other. Your navigation through the 2D layout, 3D cyberlinks, and time-based media will produce unique multidimensional shapes, experience, (anti)knowledge formations bound to cached pages and (anti)numbering systems. The white squares are not errors but gestures towards alternative orderings. Click anywhere!
