image of Metamedia

This chapter presents an exploration of metamedia as symbiotic, collaborative, meliorative and constantly unfolding — in common, together with, habitats and habits. Due to the complex, dynamic and systemic changes always emerging, this overview engages a growing need for a more comprehensive and inclusive inquiry-based notion of metamedia — (philosophically) reimagining research, society and the world in a multiplicity of ways.
