The Media Archaeology Lab at CU Boulder, a space founded in 2009 by my one-time PhD advisor and now colleague, collaborator and friend Dr. Lori Emerson, is by necessity a site of continual repair. Our mission, broadly speaking, is to give hands-on access to functional, obsolete technologies to anyone who visits. To do that, we have to keep those obsolete technologies functional. And when I say we, I often mean me but I always mean the community of collaborators and knowledge holders that the MAL has become.
