Marvelous Clouds - Toward a Philosophy of Elemental MediaPaperback
When we speak of clouds these days, it is as likely that we mean data clouds or network clouds as cumulus or stratus. In The Marvelous Clouds, John Durham Peters argues that though we often think of media as environments, the reverse is just as true-environments are media.Peters defines media expansively as elements that compose the human world. In their sharing of the term, both kinds of clouds reveal an essential truth: that the natural world and the technological world are not so distinct.
Through an encyclopedic array of examples from the oceans to the skies, The Marvelous Clouds reveals the long prehistory of so-called new media. Drawing from ideas implicit in media philosophy, Peters argues that media are more than carriers of messages: they are the very infrastructures combining nature and culture that allow human life to thrive.
