MACT's Dr Tina Kendall to launch new book

Associate Professor Dr Tina Kendall will be launching Entertained or Else: Boredom and Networked Media in at ARU's Ruskin Gallery in Cambridge on 5 December.

This thought-provoking work explores the complex relationship between boredom and everyday media use in the 21st century, revealing how digital networks transform boredom into a driver of participation and value creation.

All are welcome to help the Centre of Media, Arts and Creative Technologies mark the occasion with drinks and canapés. Visit the book launch event page for further information.

The book launch follows on from a symposium, Brain Rot, AI Slop, and the Enshittification of the Internet, organised by Dr Kendall and sponsored by MACT. You can find out more and register to attend the symposium in Cambridge or online below:
