I am still wondering how to grapple with the relation of infrastructures and environments in media theory. Praxeology and media ecology do not convergence easily––even if media practices are infrastructural and environmentally situated at the same time. Here’s a first take on the subject, a Berlin keynote lecture that has now become an elegantly edited microform podcast. My gratitude goes to the members of the DFG research training group “Literatur- und Wissensgeschichte kleiner Formen” at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and especially Johann Gartlinger and Marie van Bömmel for the smooth editing and moderation.
