Notes from today’s NUDHL (Northwestern University Digital Humanities Laboratory) reading group meeting. Topic: “What is the Digital?”
Jim Hodge and Josh Honn graciously led the way through materials and conversation, with lots of conversation about the intersections of new media studies, digital humanities, digital art, the human sciences, politics of capitalism and technology, forensic and formal materiality, and more. Below, I (like many out there these days) experimented with using Twitter and Storify as a way to keep notes during the meeting and to attempt to connect our face-to-face discussions with a broader range of participants beyond our seminar room. To that end, comments and further conversation are of course welcome, either/both here in comments or on Twitter at #nudhl or elsewhere!
