Words in Space

An interactive map of New York’s historical media infrastructures – specifically, its telegraph, pneumatic tube, and telephone networks – in order to demonstrate how these material media landscapes have evolved over the course of the 19^th, 20^th, and 21^st centuries; how contemporaneous networks overlap, complement, or compete with one another; and how older media may have laid a foundation for newer media networks.

My next book will probably have something to do with the work of artists who experiment with practices and systems of media classification and organization.
