" Mixed Realities endeavors to answer formidable questions: How do we think critically about the process of preserving media history as it unfolds? And more precisely, what steps can we take to preserve and analyze the voluminous transmedia work that is currently being produced, particularly work by those who have historically been marginalized or excluded from media histories? The authors present Mixed Realities as an answer to these problems, providing compelling lived experience in the form of 140 interviews with women/nonbinary/genderqueer media makers, interwoven elegantly with thoughtful context and broader implications. They offer vital, original scholarship which promises to make a significant contribution to the fields of media studies and gender studies."?Christina Lane, professor of film studies in the Department of Cinematic Arts and associate dean of graduate studies, University of Miami " Mixed Realities is an eye-opening history of formerly hidden pathways to our current sphere of digital media. The book is a constant source of surprises; it introduces less-well-known, versatile creators and their engaging, influential works. The authors' probing yet sensitive approach elicits generous revelations from dozens of informants. A key argument about the gendering of emerging creative work is both welcome and actionable and is supported by vivid stories and artifacts from what the authors aptly call 'nascent creative spaces.'"?Margaret Minsky, adjunct professor of Computational Media and Arts, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Guangzhou.
