Paper long abstract:
In this paper I explore how we can understand the ways that digital media are implicated in human movement as part of everyday environments. In doing so I investigate how movement can be part of a theoretical approach to digital media that focuses on the tension between understanding media content and comprehending the non-representational elements of our engagements with media. To do this I will draw on a range of existing examples to argue that to both digital media in everyday life, and contemporary/emergent experiences of movement, we can usefully focus on how content and experience are interwoven in the routes we take through the world.
