So, I finally got round to completing this challenge, several weeks overdue… I’ve called it Materialist Media Ecology, and I’m thinking of it more or less as a place for me to assemble and share research, ideas, and projects (by others rather than myself, for the moment) that may be of use to my students and me, first and foremost, but also to…[Read more]

@caitlinduffy49: Excellent! That gives me yet another option to play with for this challenge.
