How can videographic criticism help us understand weird and borderline obsolete artifacts and interfaces from the analog and early digital eras that continue to resurface in the online space? Join film scholars Jiří Anger (Queen Mary University of London) and Veronica Hanáková (Charles University, Prague) for a curated screening of media-archaeological video essays exploring things like outdated video game interfaces, tacky editing transitions, and proto-internet news services. These essays uncover surprising connections between technology, cultural memory, and the transfer of ideas across time and media. The screening will be followed by a Q&A session.
