About the book

"As evidenced by the clientele in any urban coffee shop, devices such as cell phones, BlackBerries, and Wi-Fi-enabled laptops have proliferated, particularly during the past ten years. The Wireless Spectrum explores how wireless technology has modified both individual and public life, transforming our experiences of space, time, and place, while reshaping our day-to-day interactions. Bringing together visual artists, designers, activists, and communication and humanities scholars to reflect on mobile media, this collection investigates these new forms of community and communication practices as they are emerging in Canada and around the world and asks how this new technology transfigures subjectivities, creating new forms of social behaviour and provocative aesthetic practices."--Jacket.
