Sammendrag

This is the first issue of Sensorium Journal. Sensorium Journal is an academic publication, a platform for research and artistic practices that are sensitive to materiality, aesthetics and media technology. Sensorium Journal is collaborative, inclusive and open in its form. Thus, it is academically ambitious but not peer-reviewed, and it is a part of Sensorium, a new Nordic network for young scholars and artists.

Jakob Lien

Jakob Lien is the typographer of Sensorium and a PhD student at Linköping University. He holds two master’s degrees in Comparative Literature and Publishing Studies from Stockholm University. Lien’s PhD project is a part of RepRecDigit and its main objective is to trace and analyze how the digital is represented in printed literature, 1950–2010, as theme, motive and metaphor. A preliminary thesis for the project is that a pre-digital and a digital discourse exist that effect not only what you can write but also how one writes, and that these two discourses can be find in the literary representations of the digital. His research interests include media history, poetry and theoretical perspectives on digital technology and literature.
