About

Networked-archival media represent a new kind of swarm.

The discourse of and within the swarm grows from the collective and singular subject and extends through the network-archive.

Swarming Media exists to create a forum for the critical analysis and discussion of these swarming media. From blogs to dividuals, from affective labor to folksonomies, Swarming Media examines the discourse of, within, and about these media and their social, political, and cultural significance..
