Abstract:
The contributors to 'Signal Traffic' investigate how the material artifacts of media infrastructure - transoceanic cables, mobile telephone towers, Internet data centers, and the like - intersect with everyday life. Essayists confront the multiple and hybrid forms networks take, the different ways networks are imagined and engaged with by publics around the world, their local effects, and what human beings experience when a network fails.
