In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of experimental approaches to the study of media histories and their cultures. Doing media archaeological experiments, such as historical re-enactments and hands-on simulations with media historical objects, helps us to explore and better understand the workings of past media technologies and their practices of use. By systematically refl ecting on the methodological underpinnings of experimental media archaeology as a relatively new approach in media historical research and teaching, this book aims to serve as a practical handbook for doing media archaeological experiments.

Doing Experimental Media Archaeology: Practice is the twin volume to Doing Experimental Media Archaeology: Theory, authored by Andreas Fickers and Annie van den Oever.

Reviews for Doing Experimental Media Archaeology: Practice

"""Doing Experimental Media Archaeology: Practice is an unprecedented to how exactly we put to work certain key principles of media archaeology. By meticulously laying out a fl exible, medium-specifi c range of methods and modes of experimentation along with a diverse array of ways to document and disseminate the results of these experiments with technological media, Tim van der Heijden and Aleksander Kolkowski have produced a book that every lab and institute involved in media history needs to have."" - Lori Emerson, Associate Professor and Founding Director of the Media Archaeology Lab, University of Colorado Boulder"
