Do we now live in the age of ‘ego media’? Enabled by the internet and mobile technologies, digital media have generated profound changes in how and where we communicate, interact and present ourselves.

The Centre for Attention Studies (part of the Digital Futures Institute at King's College London) is hosting a launch event of the Ego Media online publication. Join us to hear editors and contributors discuss their work, covering subjects from gaming through to vlogging, imaginative agency and speculations about the future.

Published by Stanford University Press, Ego Media offers an overview of a five-year project based in the Centre for Life-Writing Research at King’s, led by Professor Max Saunders and funded by an Advanced Grant from the ERC.

‘Impressively diverse in topics and vast in scope, Ego Media takes a broad view to consider how culture, communication, and lived experience inform how individuals and collectives think of themselves in relation to each other and to technology’. (Laurie McNeill, University of British Columbia)

The launch will be followed by a reception. This event is free and open to all, but places need to be reserved.
