2014 Vilém Flusser Residency for Artistic Research Artist in Residence 
Rosemary Lee will lead a reading and discussion related to her research 
at the archive. Her project, Molten Media, examines the cultural 
obsession with the creation and storage of codes as well as their 
paradoxical disposability.

Examining the materiality of devices, likening them to fossils, suggests 
taking a long-term view of media technology. Applying a deep-time 
perspective to a rapid-cycling throwaway media culture, projects an 
alternate timescale for its material existence. To think of these 
objects in such terms begs the question of their origins, where this 
material will go when it has finished serving its purpose, as well as 
questioning its relation to our natural history.



Location: Vilém Flusser Archive (Room 208), Medienhaus, Universität der 
Künste Berlin, 10823 Berlin, Grunewaldstraße 2-5 (U7, M48, M85 Kleistpark)
