Episode 12: A Tale of Two Computers

In this episode, Alec and Nick discuss the daily life poetry of digital workflows. Through a range of topics including the media art works of Yasunao Tone, Walter Benjamin's paradigm of Distraction vs. Concentration, Ableton Live, iOS, and more, the episode conceives of the laptop computer as a kind of “Flat Stanley,” which accompanies us in life’s mundane adventure and tacitly frames our normal actions as momentous events.
