Web Assemblage

Web assemblage, as the title says is referring to the time spent making connections and aligning content.

I feel honored to be part of the third wave of Intermedia at the University of Alberta, and I hope that your visit here will prove to be a gateway to some form of creative process. The Intermedia Research Studio is a space that currently houses techo-gadgetry and analogue systems of all kinds, in addition to desk space wherein students and artists can dock-in and collaborate or skill-share.

In conversation with MV today we discussed media and the proliferation of the mundane. Our sense is that, if everyone (privileged middle class) have access to media machines like Macs and the like, with all the promise of making movies and recording hit songs then what are the limits? How do we push the limits on a new system that stands for ubiquitous computing and creative/productive laboratories of media. Have we all simply become agents of the media, perpetually reproducing the reproducible?
