“Resonance: EMMEDIA Anthology of Critical Texts 2011/2012 is the third EMMEDIA anthology of writing about media arts in Calgary. This collection of essays was produced in conjunction with Every Word Counts, an EMMEDIA workshop about critical writing in the visual and media arts held in October 2012. The anthology’s title echoes EMMEDIA’s 2011/2012 thematic program, Resonance, and its contents sound out and magnify Calgary’s local media arts story to contribute to a much larger history."
