About The Event
What might histories of media and technology gain from remaking obsolete instruments? From re-conducting early experiments? From fabricat- ing machines that existed only on paper as fictions? Based on work conducted by the University of Victoria’s Maker Lab in the Human- ities, this talk explores such questions, with particular attention to how we might prototype the past by prototyping absences and hyperbole in the historical record.
