While many of us increasingly use the same devices, designed and manufactured by the same companies, we all have distinctly unique routines or rituals when it comes to using them. How do we analyze, write about, or celebrate the performance of an individual user? What do these techniques reveal about the values of a digital culture, or its beliefs about how complex technologies actually work?Panel proposals are due November 10, 2017http://rcade.camden.rutgers.edu/2018symposium.htmlPlease direct any questions to: grant.wythoff@gmail.com
