How Surveillance Advertising Conquered the Internet Matthew Crain
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA PRESS

The contemporary internet’s de facto business model is one of surveillance. Amazon targets us with eerily prescient ads, Facebook and Google read our messages and analyze our pa�erns.

In Poe�c Opera�ons ar�st and theorist Micha Cárdenas considers contemporary digital media, artwork, and poetry in order to ar�culate trans of color strategies of safety and survival. Drawing on decolonial theory, women of color feminism, media theory, and queer of color cri�que, Cárdenas develops a method she calls algorithmic analysis.

In Rethinking Virtual Places, Erik Malcolm Champion draws from the fields of computa�onal sciences and other place-related disciplines to argue for a more central role for virtual space in the humani�es. For instance, recent developments in neuroscience could improve our understanding of how people experience, store, and recollect placerelated encounters.
Watson centers the discussion on extreme conflict, such as the Iraq War and the occupa�on of Pales�ne. Under these condi�ons, ar�sts and ac�vists aspire to document, archive, witness, and tes�fy. The result is a set of prac�ces that turn documentary media toward a commitment to feature and privilege the media made by the people living through the terror.

How popular debates about the so-called digital genera�on mediate anxie�es about labor and life in twenty-first-century America. “The children are our future” goes the adage, declaring both anxiety and hope about the next genera�on. Nguyen interrogates this ambivalence within discussions about today’s “digital genera�on” and the future of crea�vity.
Bringing together media studies and environmental humani�es, the contributors to Satura�on develop satura�on as a heuris�c to analyze phenomena in which the elements involved are difficult or impossible to separate as a way of exploring the rela�onship between media, the environment, technology, capital, and the legacies of colonialism.
