Anthony McCosker lives in Melbourne Australia, and mines media culture old and new for its affective vibrancy and dangerous vitality. He sometimes dumps images, videos, ideas and reflections here for purely therapeutic purposes. Really, he uses this blog to store ideas, images, videos, links etc for later use in research, writing and teaching. That’s all.
