Summary:

In 'Relive', leading historians of the media arts grapple with this dilemma: how can we speak of 'new media' and at the same time write the histories of these arts? These scholars and practitioners redefine the nature of the field, focusing on the materials of history - the materials through which the past is mediated. Drawing on the tools of media archaeology and the history and philosophy of media, they propose a new materialist media art history.
