I used to work in Barnes and Noble. Here I am at my local B&N. When I told a bookseller it was mine, she got on the loud speaker and said, âThere is an author in the building!â Another staff member came over and they asked me to sign my books and congratulated me. Thanks, B&N!

An Artist Turning Digital Culture Into Something That Feels Like Future Archaeology
Kleinian is a contemporary artist and designer who frames digital culture as a form of future archaeology; his own concise phrase for it is âModern archaeology.â From the available public descriptions, his work centers on the idea that memes, interfaces, pixels, and AI-generated objects can be treated as artifacts of the present â not as [âŚ]
![A section of the text for a talk, "Straining the History of Infectious Diseases: Europe's Two Black Deaths":
"Whatâs also been developing, and this is my neck of the woods, is digital
humanities [slide #7]. What does digital humanities [click] have to do with
these old books and old manuscripts? How is this transforming?
What it means is thatthe narrative we have of the Black Deathâ
in fact, the narratives that we have of almost all infectious [00:05:00] diseases prior to the 19th centuryâare verbal. They are human accounts of what humans have seen. Bringing in the physical evidence is this new discovery, this new amazing resource. But what it also means, and this is the essence of my argument, is that when we have new evidence of any kind, in this case new physical evidence, we also need to go back and look at our old evidence to see, do we need to read it differently? Is there something new that we can find?
And the very fact that I can say to myself, âHmm, I need to look again at the compendium, the Consilium that the Paris Faculty of Medicine wrote to King Philip VI in 1348. I need to look at that again.â Five minutes later, Iâm online and I have the digital reproduction [00:06:00] from Gallica, the Bibliothèque Nationale in France. Astounding resources that we have as
premodernists now that we can reconnect with physical evidence [click]âphysical evidence in this case being these written words and works of art. [click, click]
So I can look at images, I can look at texts that havenât been edited I can look at texts that I've never seen before. I can re-look at inscriptions and writings in the margins that havenât been studied before [click]. I can even look at texts that are in languages I donât read [click], but then I can
pull on my colleagues and say, âCan you look at this again and see if you see something different?"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:twqucin7jqhlteuk37lqltr7/bafkreifnqxrkm577g33g63fnobo2eyfdb25fwr6el5fq4tf6zp5p3mblca)
