DESCRIPTION:
‘He presented all our issues in one thirty-second delivery.’ We communicate with the future through dead media.
Marshall McLuhan claimed that we glimpse the present through a rearview mirror. As we drive backwards into the future we will interrogate how communication practice has informed the concept of ‘the future’ and how, in turn, the future itself has become a power communication medium. If the medium is the message, has it now left us behind?
