Internet & the Sacred Landscape

8:40 min
Delivered by an archeologist from the future, this ongoing speculative lecture series offers a posthuman perspective on the internet. The archeologist draws conclusions about the internet's origin, purpose and the mysterious culture who built it through the excavation and study of the internet’s physical infrastructure on the landscape. In this time on Earth, circuit boards and memory cards are no longer animated by electricity, all digital files have been either wiped or deemed inaccessible, they sit as objects. The scholar presents their research and makes a case that it was once a powerful and magical system, rooted in the spiritualist beliefs of early telecommunications and that one could communicate with the dead through wires.
