Drawing on case studies from information theory, networked systems, and digital geographies, it links media obsolescence to enduring communicative presence across past and present, including methods inspired by garbology.","Articulating Media  \nGenealogy, Interface, Situation  \nTechnographies  \nSeries Editors: Steven Connor, David Trotter and James Purdon  \nHow was it that technology and writing came to inform each other so extensively that today there is only information? Technographies seeks to answer that question by putting the emphasis on writing as an answer to the large question of‘through what?’. Writing about technographies in history, our contributors will themselves write technographically.  \n Articulating Media Genealogy, Interface, Situation  \nJames Gabrillo and Nathaniel Zetter  \nOPEN HUMANITIES PRESS London 2023  \nFirst edition published by Open Humanities Press 2023  \nCopyright © 2023 James Gabrillo and Nathaniel Zetter, and respective authors  \nThis is an open access book, licensed under the Creative Commons By Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike license.

In 1973, he mobilised his students from the University of Arizona to sort through what Tucson residents threw away, and then record the trash items against population data. Waste information unearthed habits Americans had concealed or misrepresented in surveys: they drank much more alcohol than they reported, and discarded alarming quantities of expensive beef. The ‘Garbage Project’  \n– as Rathje named it – slowly accumulated, and in 1987, he also began to dig in the city’s landfills. As expected, the sites offered centralised densities of waste, but they also presented an unexpected methodological aid. ‘Dig a trench through a landfill’, Rathje and his team discovered, ‘and telephone books can be seen to stud some strata like currants in a cake’ (Rathje and Murphy 2001: 104) . Each year, the residents of Tucson would receive new phonebooks and promptly dispose of them. Rathje found more every year, such that ‘their expansion in number seems to know no bounds’ (104–5) . The yearly cycles of refuse could now be dated by the thick layers of sheets compacted in the rubbish.","cbCaivO2O8WYc47o","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivO2O8WYc47o","pdf",11000281,1,200,"English","en",105,"# Introduction: Media and Articulation\n## Narration Time, Switching Time, Given Time\n## ‘I Hear a New World’: Moon Metaphors and Media Music\n## The Statistical Order of Discourse\n## Guiding the Overwrite: Resurfacing Lexicality in the Xerox PARC Alto\n## The Performative Function of Hope\n## At the Edge of the Audible\n## Play it Again: Remediation, the Archive\n## Situating Google’s Alphabet\n## Situated Data: Articulating Art Methods, Cultural Institutions and Infrastructure","[{\"question\":\"What central question does Technographies use to connect technology and writing?\",\"answer\":\"It asks how technology and writing informed each other so extensively that there is “only information,” emphasizing writing as an answer to “through what?”\"},{\"question\":\"How does the book use the “Garbage Project” to discuss media obsolescence?\",\"answer\":\"It shows how discarded phonebooks persist after they stop communicating, accumulating new forms of speaking and mediating temporal change through their layered material presence.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of issues does the book aim to investigate in media and method?\",\"answer\":\"It investigates the vernacular languages of media to excavate questions of value, representation, and categorisation embedded in media history and media-critical writing.\"}]","Articulating Media -
