Ryan Watson (RW): In your recent book Thinking Through Digital Media, you argue that conventional media categories like avant-garde, documentary, experimental, are obsolete applied to digital media. Instead, you propose concepts like hacking, reverse engineering, micropublics and narrowcasting as a way to interrogate how such projects operate both locally and transnationally. Could you explain these terms and their importance for understanding digital media?

Dale Hudson和Patricia R. Zimmermann的访谈

瑞安·沃森（RW）：您在最近的《通过数字媒体思考》一书中指出，前卫，纪录片，实验性等常规媒体类别已不适用于数字媒体。取而代之的是，您提出诸如黑客，逆向工程，微型出版物和窄播之类的概念，以质疑此类项目在本地和跨国运作的方式。您能否解释这些术语及其对理解数字媒体的重要性？
