Technomadology

About this original series

The whole of this work is stationed within the field of Technomadology. Technomadology is defined as a field of study that emerges at the convergence of the traditional fields of computer science, political science, neuroscience, art, and communication studies. It is fundamentally concerned with the study, theory and practice, of contemporary technology-dependent nomadic human culture, place and effects of media, neurological response to media, information theory, inter-media, and the creative processes of generating experimental research, methods, art, and literature as critical discourse toward a greater understanding of the prevailing social, economic, and political condition(s). The work began in Chicago, Illinois in 1995 and is centered around the study and understanding of the role of media -- particularly the internet and (the) image -- across human history, present, and future. In brief, a technomadologist is interested in and works toward the understanding the mediated system in hopes of educating and advancing a comprehensive civic literacy. The goal of Technomadology is a successful extension of Harold Innis' attempt at a type of unified theory of politics, communication/media, and consciousness. For Greg O'Toole, this work is currently being pursued through multiple venues.
