Abstract

This article discusses bizarre facts and news emerge as events of digital cultures. Made with, coming from, as well as being glocal biopolitical tensions and communication, they become communication themselves and reveal new values and contemporary traces – the very same that shape them as mediabodies, i.e., each and every one of those events manifests a trans glocal matter. Reverberating on crossed dimensions, in the Mediabody Theory the concept of ”body” is a system of constant dialogues with environments in which human bodies take a part, but are not the central agents anymore. The absurd congruences above are mediabodies of an ongoing flux of changes.
