Media Vessels: An Archaeology of Electronic Media explores the role of media vessels in the evolution of electronic media, tracing their impact from eighteenth-century electrical experiments to the rise of digital media in the twentieth century. Utilizing media archaeology and the philosophy of technology, this dissertation presents a narrative that follows the development of technical objects used for signal relay, culminating in the emergence of user-friendly digital media. Departing from traditional focuses on high technology and hard sciences, this study shifts attention to the media vessel, a modest yet significant technology with feminist implications. By examining the dual role of media vessels as both carriers and holders, the dissertation investigates how electronic media evolved and how these vessels shaped interactions between technical objects, human bodies, and the technological milieu. Positioning media vessels as the center of analysis, this dissertation analyzes their impact on the design of technical systems and emergence of media users in the modern era. It argues that media vessels provide a crucial cultural and technical framework for the transmission, storage, and processing of information within electronic media systems. By exploring the historical significance of media vessels, this work encourages a reevaluation of media evolution and transformation.
