Resumo:
“For more than 25 years, I have been working with students and colleagues at the Georgia Institute of Technology on the history, theory, and practice of digital media. Highlights of that work include projects in our Augmented Environments Lab exploring virtual, augmented, and mixed reality—particularly in the contexts of cultural heritage, entertainment, and personal expression. My interest in the role of digital media within the broader history of media has led to papers and books such as Remediation: Understanding New Media (1999), co-authored with Richard Grusin, and Reality Media: Augmented and Virtual Reality (2021), co-authored by Blair MacIntyre and Maria Engberg. In my presentation, I will review this body of work and suggest how it connects to current research with students, with a particular focus on generative AI. In harvesting billions of words and images from the internet, generative AI performs an algorithmic remix—or remediation—of all the digitized and digital media of the past.”
