About this Event

You Know It Don't Come Easy: Dispatches from the Battle for the Soul of New Media

In 1993, the media artist Sandy Stone established the ACTLab (Advanced Communication Technologies Laboratory) at the University of Texas at Austin. Her lab was one of the first to conduct research on virtual communities, social software, and new ways of communicating with audiences. For this event, Stone will reenact the ACTLab for students interested in contemporary media theory and practice.

Sandy Stone is an audio engineer, media artist, and trans* theorist. She is the subject of the documentary film , which features animation by award-winning graphic novel artist Bishkah Som. Her essay “The Empire Strikes Back: A Posttranssexual Manifesto,” contributed to the founding of transgender studies programs in academia.

Stone’s visit is presented by UNL's Humanities on the Edge (HotE) lecture series, and co-sponsored by the Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts. This year’s HotE series theme is Trans Ecologies.
