Description

Geert Lovink is one of the most innovative media theorists of contemporary culture. He is known for co-developing the idea of tactical media. Lovink was a founding member of ADILKNO, also known as the Foundation for the Advancement of Illegal Knowledge, founded in 1983 as a critical project of underground media theory. From 1989-1994 Lovink was the editor of Mediamatic Magazine, in which many of the writings of ADILKNO first appeared. He earned his master's degree in political science at the University of Amsterdam and a Ph.D. from the University of Melbourne. In 2004, after a postdoctoral position at the University of Queensland, he became Research Professor of Interactive Media at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam and the founding director of the Institute of Network Cultures in Amsterdam.
