Last week I got this strange book from Amazon: "Book of imaginary Media. Excavating the dream of the ultimate communication medium" (Eric Kluitenberg ed., debalie NAI Publishers, 2006). It is a product of a festival ("An archeology of imaginary media") arranged in Amsterdam in 2004. This is pretty far out (even for me). You get among other stuff 80 pages on "The pleasures of the peephole" by Erkki Huhtamo! One of my favourite chapters so far is by Sci-Fi author Bruce Sterling, on "Media Paleontology". The real reason I bought the book, is that you also get a DVD with a play staged by Peter Blegvad at the festival (35 min), called "On Imaginary Media: Son et lumiere".
