["-empyre- admin" <empyre-admin@imap.cofa.unsw.edu.au>]

-empyre- mid year session will be brought to a close by our guest for August
Sean Cubitt.

Sean Cubitt, currently head of Media Studies at University of Waikato in New
Zealand, was previously Professor of Media Arts at Liverpool John Moores
University, England. His books include Timeshift: On Video Culture,
Videography: Video Media as Art and Culture, Digital Aesthetics and
Simulation and Social Theory. He is a member of the editorial boards of
Screen, Third Text, Futures, The International Journal of Cultural Studies
and Time and Society and has published widely on contemporary media, arts
and culture. He is currently working on a book on special effects cinema for
MIT Press, and co-editing The Third Text Reader and a collection on
postcolonial science fiction. His interests include media aesthetics, media
ethics and media democracy.
 Sean's discussion will discuss center around his current online work "The
Hours" - an elemetary notion of movement's dispersal into time and space and
its stitching back together in
another mode, looking at a historical time line from 1894 onwards; and on
human machine communication.
