[ecrea] Fibreculture 17 Unnatural Ecologies

Just after Easter, a special issue of Fibreculture journal went live, edited by myself and Dr Jussi Parikka and featuring articles by leading researchers in the emergent field of media ecologies:

http://seventeen.fibreculturejournal.org/<http://seventeen.fibreculturejournal.org/>

The Unnatural Ecologies issue is a contribution to a cutting edge field of contemproary media research namely media ecologies. In the words of the fibreculture managing editor Dr Andrew Murphie: "the leading scholars writing for the Unnatural Ecologies issue do not perfrom media ecology as we have known it .... they are rewriting media ecology, exploring its limits from inside and outside. In the process the Fibreculture Journal believes this issue makes a crucial contribution to thinking about all media from the perspective of digital and networked media. In thinking through the unnatural ecologies that contemorary media make increasingly obvious, the issue challenges us to rethink not only what media are, or what they do, but what they might have been and what they have done."

Coinciding with this issue, Fibreculture has introduced a new interface permitting the one click  downloading of the issue as an ePub or pdf document.

We hope you will enjoy this special  issue and feel free to recirculate (and apologies in advance for cross-posting),
