Publication Projects

meson press

The publisher meson press was founded at the CDC as part of the Hybrid Publishing Lab and is currently still run by some of its former members. Members of the CDC are also involved in two book series at meson press:

  • In Search of Media: What are the terms under which media is produced, and how does media impact and change these terms? By pairing up scholars from North America and Europe, this series advances media theory by obviating the gap that exists across language barriers in order to rethink and re-imagine what media can and must do. more
  • Digital Cultures (2015–2023): Edited by members of the CDC, the aim of the book series Digital Cultures was to think through the relationship of routines, information flows, communication acts and spaces of action with digital technologies. more

PML Book Series (2013–2014)

The PML book series was edited by the Post-Media Lab (2011–2014) and published by OpenMute Press. By drawing upon Félix Guattari’s concept of ‘collective assemblages of enunciation’, it explores the potential of post-media practices, which unfold in diverse ways across the ubiquity of media today. All books are Open Access and free to download. View book series
