[Air-L] OA book: Radio Explorations. Architectonic Studies of Electromagnetic Milieux

[Selena Savic]

Dear list,

I would like to share with you the open access book Radio Explorations 
https://www.transcript-publishing.com/978-3-8376-7337-1/radio-explorations/ 
which presents an encounter between radio signal recordings, data 
feminism, and experimental design, offering innovative tools and 
fostering interdisciplinary collaborations.

I argue that an intersectional perspective on information technology is 
needed, to articulate relevant points of observing, experiencing and 
being attentive to forms of social and environmental in/justice it may 
perpetuate.

Radio signals incorporate nature and technology in a fascinating mixture 
of engineering, environment and chance: poems, sounds, and all sorts of 
messages are encoded and transmitted at large distances as 
electromagnetic waves. With this book, I explore the cultural practices 
related to radio communication and information technologies as technical 
and societal domains. Contributors present post-disciplinary research 
into the material, logical and onto-epistemological properties of radio 
signals. These approaches to radio signals specificity and situatedness 
expand the feminist materialist resistance to dualistic and universal 
readings of the world.

The book is available open access from transcript:

If you have questions or if you would like to discuss shared interests 
in radio technologies and data, please feel free to email me:
