Ecology

At a time when environment, technology, and humans are linked through their capacity for sensation, a media-theoretical revision is overdue. Ecology of Affect explores the motions of connecting, translating and separating as new basic parameters of affect.

Ecology of Affect

Intensive Milieus and Contingent Encounters

The way we conceive the human today is particularly affected by the shifts in media technology during the 20th century. Affect emerges as the new liminal concept that renders the body compatible in novel ways with the technology and politics of media. By ways of a relational reorganization the organic end technological life is condensed in a new, intense way to an ecology of affects.
