Now that the winter term is waning, I'm soon to have much more time to really get cracking on my new book project. My last book project took an insanely long time (9 years) and an insanely short time (8 months!!!) to come into the world. With this project I'm hoping the timeline will be less " wibbly-wobbly, tiny-whiny" as The Doctor might say.
Right now the title of this project is All the world's a Screen: The Emergence of Internet Visuality. My plan is to analyze the historical emergence of images onto the Internet and the rise of moving images online, in conjunction with an analysis of shifts in Internet modes of access, software, and design aesthetics. And of course such a project would be no fun without a consideration of users online and their relationships with/in/as online image culture. And let's face it, online culture today=image culture=culture. Right?
Hopefully I have not bitten off more than I can chew. Thankfully I'm dusting off and rebooting some of my earlier work on online visuality in this project and I'm excited to go, go, go. Along for the ride this summer are Dmitri and Julia, my graduate student accomplices.
Sounds to me like you'll be looking at a lot of porn. ;)
