Logistics Of Perception

In this episode Matt and Jason discuss the peripheral as cultural form, moving from early telephone attachments to video games, mobile devices, and more in search of the meaning of extension.

In the inaugural episode we introduce the podcast as well as ourselves. We talk about what it would mean to have a logistics of perception, conduct a close reading of Benjamin Bratton's essay "Logistics of Habitable Circulation," and discuss the Amazon Fire phone. — Bratton's introduction to Paul Virilio's Speed and Politics, "Logistics of Habitable Circulation." — Robin Sloan's "The Fire Phone at the Farmers Market." — Allen Feldman's "On the Actuarial Gaze: From 9/11 to Abu Ghraib."
