> Scott McQuire's research explores the social effects of media technologies, with particular attention to their impact on the social relations of space and time, and the formation of identity.   He is currently writing a book, The Media City, that traces the way in which cities have become increasingly media-dense environments, transforming previous conceptions of public and private space.   What happens to the place we call 'home' when the transnational networks of both embedded and mobile media have become ubiquitous?   How do they reconstruct public urban space as more interactive and performative?
