Media treated as modes of engagement we transcend how they are normally understood, in my discipline of archaeology, for example, as passive tools—as simply means to an end. Media are both the means and the end. As modes of engagement we recognize their action. As modes of engagement we treat media as dynamic entities, as actants within our collective practice.
