Modes of Address and Ontologies of Disconnection: Towards a Media Archaeology of Mobile Networks

Résumé

In contemporary mobile networks, addresses are allotted by a host of different technologies. As a technical principle, motion itself makes possible the location of devices as elements of the network. With a short overview of media archaeological approaches to cellular networks, the paper explores the introduction of an ontology in which the position of every object is constantly registered. In such spaces of address, the politics of remembrance and forgetting have to be rethought, because only that which is not part of the network can be forgotten. The arbitrariness of addresses and the difference between bodies and devices offer a chance to stand still while not being forgotten.
