» 7/28   “Intro­duc­tion: Electracy”

 

“Elec­tracy” is to dig­i­tal media what lit­er­acy is to alpha­betic writ­ing:
an appa­ra­tus, or social machine, partly tech­no­log­i­cal, partly insti­tu­tional. — Ulmer, “The Learn­ing Screen” (2009)

 
 

» Each appa­ra­tus includes respective-related com­po­nents:
 
• Insti­tu­tion(s)
• Tech­nol­ogy & Social Practices
• Sub­jec­tiv­ity (Iden­tity for­ma­tion & experience)

 
 
 
» Gram­ma­tol­ogy (coex­ten­sive — like media ecol­ogy):
 

Oral­ity   |   Lit­er­acy   |   Elec­tracy
 
 
// Art, Sci­ence, Phi­los­o­phy   (Deleuze & Guat­tari, What is Phi­los­o­phy?)
