Description: The contributors to Assembly Codes document how media and logistics--the techniques of organizing and coordinating the movement of materials, bodies, and information--are co-constitutive and key to the circulation of information and culture.
Review Quotes: "Extending vital histories of transportation and communication, this book explores mediation's long dance with logistics. Media are not static: they form via the coordinated movement of materials, the calculating logics of supply chains, and the dynamic activities of networks. Assembly Codes gathers top thinkers who unfurl new paths for understanding media and logistics and boldly confront issues of difference, geopolitics, and planetary resources in the process."--Lisa Parks, Distinguished Professor of Film & Media Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara
