We’re on with Morgane Billuart, a writer and artist and a researcher whose work engages critically with technologically mediated and determined worlds — not least within her exceptional book “Cycles, the Sacred and the Doomed: Inquiries in Female Health Technologies.” Morgane joins us to talk about a large, recent research project on a particular character that many of us identifies with, what Geert Lovink calls the “critical internet researcher” — a figure who engages in a kind of postdisciplinary media theory while at the same time producing and publishing their work through the very media they are studying, the
Online. We
strongly recommend:
In the episode we discuss the work of Geert Lovink and the
Institute of Network Cultures and
Joshua Citarella (and the associated entity Do Not Research), and we briefly touch on Yancy Strickler (and the associated
MetaLabel),
Trust, the
New Center for Research and Practice,
Are.na,
New Models, and RADAR (
https://www.radardao.xyz/). All are mentioned in the context of being institutions undertaking the extremely admirable charge of iterating upon new vehicles and structures for the exchange of information.
Marek also briefly mentions the blogger RM (
@NilsEdison) and the artist Maria Tsylke.
