“Nitsche offers a much-needed relational and material perspective that is of central importance for anyone who wants to study, understand, and develop media. An important and timely contribution that we greatly need.”
Mikael Wiberg, Professor of Interaction Design, Chalmers University of Technology, and Professor of Informatics, Umeå university, Sweden; author of The Materiality of Interaction
“Without downplaying the role of the human designer, Nitsche beautifully illustrates how careful attention to specific qualities of digital materials leads to more satisfying, and sustainable, designs.”
Bo Reimer, Professor of Media and Communication Studies and Director of Medea Media Lab, Malmö University, co-author of Collaborative Media. Production, Consumption, and Design Interventions
“From earthbound performance to space-age photography, Nitsche enlivens the interlocking worlds of material and digital encounters—not by falling back on their divisions, but by weaving new multivalent connections within and across their mediated lives.”
Daniela K. Rosner, Associate Professor, University of Washington; author of Critical Fabulations: Reworking the Methods and Margins of Design
“Nitsche draws together perspectives on contemporary hybrid media ranging from more-than-human agency to performance, craft, and community. As an interaction designer, I find the book highly inspirational and rich in potentially generative concepts.”
Professor Jonas Löwgren, Linköping University; author of Thoughtful Interaction Design and Collaborative Media
