MEDIA ARCHAEOLOGIES OF THE PRESENT Keynote to Technopolitics Salon "Media archeologies of the recent past" While social media culture indulges in timeless ubiquitous computing, a media archaeology of this technological present reminds of its underlying technical and logical pre-conditions. Contrary to the intuitive understanding, "media archeologies of the present" is not about the most recent technological events which govern our contemporary techno-social condition. The printed Timeline Tracing Information Society starts with 1900. But when do media conditions "begin"? Any "media archaeology of the recent past" finds itself in a blind spot: The archive of the present, which in Foucault's sense is the techno-logical a priori of multi-media enunciation, by definition is not accessible. The media archaeology of the present refers to technological infrastructures, not to narratives. Further entries in to the "timeline" will be proposed under that perspective, finally questioning the suggestive linearity of the "timeline" itself, in favor of alternative chrono-poetics such as algorithmic timestretching.
