Full video of my technological re-enactment method for studying media history - in this case, the potentials and failures of the video podcast.

This is a bonus video for the main episode of my podcast, which you can find here in this same podcast feed.

There are three main steps involved when doing a technological reenactment:

First, you need to identify the core characteristics of the experience that you are trying to re-create. These are features of the experience holistically, and don’t necessarily have to be specific pieces of hardware or software.

Second, you would determine what parts—if any—of the original experience you still have access to, and what parts you need to fill in with more modern technology.

Third, keep a running list of what substitutions you had to make, so you can consider how those more modern technologies affected the experience as a whole.
