Sean Michael Landers exhumes dead media, disinters forgotten futures, and otherwise indulges in macabre investigations of the technological imagination.
The wild pursuit of a concept that comes to me in a dream gives rise to a complex wrangling with technology, which only later yields to theoretical investigation as to what I was after the entire time.
Yes, that is a picture of me eating breakfast taken through an analog toast filter, thank you for your interest.

Three areas of interest
The changing meaning of ‘creativity’ at the intersection of technology and culture; remix, mashup, and other recreative practice
Vanishing technology and sf as theory / theory as sf: the archaic and the emergent, the predictive and the prefigurative, the antecedent and the artifact, the retrospeculative and the anticipatory
Algorithmic approaches to art and artistic approaches to the algorithm as a way of better understanding
